A long time ago I asked ATHM what the story was with limits on streaming video. They told me there was a restriction on the uplink you can do as a customer. It is 10 megs. So if you try to upload more than 10 megs it bombs. This, I was told, was because some users abused the system (Fremont case, I assume). They pointed out that At Work was available if you wanted a good pipe both ways. Downloading is no problem and there is no restriction on the amount of streaming video you can have. The guy also told me that this was the policy of TCI and other cable operators may be different.

When the comment came up recently, I checked with them again and the policy seemed to be the same. I do remember trying to send a email attachment of 20 or so megs recently and it did not go. Sunday I watched the European NFL football game live in streaming video for 45 minutes with no problem. Pretty good quality too.
