Now one of the questions I have is are we going to be able to watch games after they've concluded in there entirety? Because there may be a few Sundays where I have to work and won't be able to see the entire game. Judging by that video you should be able to if you can pause, rewind, and fast forward streams as they are going on Live.

How concerned should one be about going over the your allotted bandwidth? Comcast only allows 250 GB a month. How much bandwidth will one game eat up? 2-3 every Sunday?

SD video uses about 800M an hour and HD video uses about 1.5GB per hour. Let's factor on 6 hours per Sunday since no matter how many games you watch, you are only watching Sunday Ticket between noon and 6PM depending on your time zone. That's 9GB per Sunday or 36GB per month for Sunday Ticket.
Caps are not as restrictive as people think. 250GB is an ass ton of bandwidth.Comment

Ive done it. Downloading a bunch of 8+ GB HD movies, tons of music, streaming porn, Nextflix, gaming, standard net use, Torrenting Bucs games. etc... etc....

I wish the game was on there tonight so I could test it out.Comment

Averaging over 8GB per day puts both of you on the extreme end of Internet usage. Not sure what to say if you are using Comcast, who will suspend your service for going over. AT&T just charges you $10 per 50GB over 250GB after 3 months of going over but you get to keep your connection. If you want to get this service, you might have to cut your porn and illegal software habit down to 7GB a day to accommodate it

It was a one time deal but I was just pointing out that downloading Blu Rays and HD Football games make it not so difficult to do. Comcast didnt do anything though assuming because it was a 1 time thing.

To make sure that I am ready for the new DirecTV Sunday Ticket for the PS3 service, I have been testing my PS3's connectivity to the Internet. My PS3 was upstairs in my home office connected via wireless to my 2-Wire 3800 (G) gateway and has worked great for FPS and sports gaming. The TV is only 32" though and I wanted to move the PS3 downstairs to my living room where I have my Samsung 55" C8000 LED TV located but still maintain a high level of connectivity to my gateway so that I can make sure I am getting the best possible stream of the NFL games. I already had a pair of Netgear 85M Ethernet over Powerline adapters that I used for my old Xbox and dusted them off. Just to make sure that my bases were covered, I also went to Best Buy and purchased a set of RocketFish 200M Ethernet over Powerline adapters before I started my tests.
I haven't found a speed test that works on the PS3 browser accurately so I use the "test network connection" test under "network settings". I know my throughput of my Internet connection is typically in the ~23M range based on speed tests ran on my main PC that is directly connected to my 2-Wire 3800 (G) gateway. It seems that the PS3 network connection test delivers much lower results than actual throughput but for purposes of this test is provides a constant that I can test variables against in order to have good data.
Wireless (upstairs) - 10.8M down/2.0M up
Wireless (downstairs) - 10.9M down/2.0M up
Wired (direct to gateway) - 13.1M down/2.1M up
Wired 85M Ethernet Bridge (upstairs) - 9.4M down/2.0M up
Wired 85M Ethernet Bridge (downstairs) - 7.8M down/2.0M up
Wired 200M Ethernet Bridge (downstairs) - 11.2M down/1.9M up
Looking at this data, it seems that the difference between the upstairs and downstairs is negligible with regards to connectivity via wireless. My best results obviously came when I was directly wired to the gateway but that is not an option for me and was used as a benchmark against the other options. The 85M wired adapters performed 20% better when the PS3 was in the same room as the gateway vs. downstairs but still 13% lower than wireless under the same conditions. The 200M wired adapter does provide a 44% boost over the 85M adapter but is only marginally (300k) better than wireless.
I was not able to factor for latency via the PS3 but expect it to be in alignment with most of my speed test readouts on my PC in the ~30ms range. The fact that all of my above connection options exceeds what is required for a solid H.264 stream makes me feel good about tomorrow on my end. I'm going to start with wireless and see how it works, it it gives me any issues, I will switch to the 85M adapters and if all else fails I will go to the 200M adapters.
Hope that we are all happy with the performance of DirecTV's servers tomorrow!Comment
