| World Cup streamers urged not to exceed bandwidth limits |

Web users have been urged to make sure they do not exceed their bandwidth allowance as they stream World Cup football matches over the internet this summer.
Michael Phillips, product director of Broadband Choices, pointed out that fans can now watch matches at home, at work or even on the go if they have a mobile broadband connection, but many consumers may be unaware they are at risk of breaching their fair usage policies. He explained that streaming just one World Cup match alone in HD will use up around 2.4GB and with over 50 games scheduled to be broadcast online in June, football fans could easily breach the terms of their contract. "Those who breach the terms of their broadband download limit may find themselves paying anything up to £1 per additional GB downloaded," Mr Phillips warned. He urged all World Cup viewers planning to watch games through their broadband connection to check with their broadband providers first before streaming or downloading any content.  |
