streaming above 2 mbit makes no sense because the enduser usually has not enough bandwidth or some node in between. i tested that for months, even with different CDNs

whatever...
Exactly! and what i meant was i can deliver raw mpeg at 25000kbps and wmv at 4000 - 6000 kbps - so 5000kbps is not a problem, just as good as any other solid content provider like yourself. What i wanted to bring up to the conversation is exactly what you stated MaDalton - what is the end user gonna do when they have to sit and wait for monster files to download / stream? i don´t think most would be able to handle them.

That is why i also wanted to hear from HD-only paysite owners or above and see how they handle it. High bandwidth users only? That sounds like leaving a lot of people out.

No debate here, just a friendly exchange of knowledge that´s all
