What is BTs policy on video streaming?
We do not impose any restrictions that affect the viewing quality of services such as BBC iPlayer or Catch Up on Channel4.com or ITV.com, as these stream at up to 800Kbps. However, we do limit the speed of all video streaming to 896Kbps on our Option 1 product, during peak times only, which is between 5pm – midnight every day. This does not affect BT Vision. If you are an Option 1 customer and do use higher than 896Kbps video services regularly at peak time, you may wish to upgrade to Option 2 or 3, which don’t have this restriction, and will be more suitable for your level of usage.
