Ok google has given me different answers so kinda hoping someone knows a definitive yes or no here.

Obviously virgin throttles upload speeds during peak as per their TMP http://my.virginmedia.com/traffic-ma...hresholds.html

However even on 150mb connection i only get 7mb upload speed, which would mean if i streamed for 2 hours, that would easily be knocked down to the 65% slower which would make it basically pointless to think about streaming with Virgin.

On the other hand i've seen a post or 2 that mentions twitch isn't effected by this and it shouldn't be in issue.

So question is, Is twitch exempt from getting hit during peak times or am i best moving to BT for their zero throttling?
