Bandwidth

Unfortunately I don't have unlimited bandwidth. Can someone tell me roughly how much bandwidth my new T1+ would consume if I left it on an HD channel over a 24 hour period?

How can I control how much data Netflix uses? Watching TV shows or movies on Netflix uses about 1 GB of data per hour for each stream of standard definition video, and up to 3 GB per hour for each stream of HD video. you do math

Thanks. So obviously I need to go back to the home screen or shut the T1 down when I'm not watching TV.

To be safe, for an HD(1080) stream, budget 6Mb bandwidth requirement per unit.
Just FYI ...Bandwidth is how big your pipe is, Unlimited Data usage is the term used for how much water you can use before they charge you extra. (Sorry for the Plumbing lexicon)
