IPTV data usage

[canuck74]

In my area of the world(Canada) internet providers are now charging enormous fees if you go over your data usage plan. Does anyone know how much usage IPTV uses for a hours worth of tv watching and is it the same when you download a movie from the downloaded movies. I'm 8 days into to my billing cycle and got a notice that I've used 75% of my data(250GB).
TIA

There is a lot of variables to determine this. Check your router and see if it has data usage charts or reports and see what your using on average when you use IPTV to give you an idea.

i use 400gb per month streaming this service

this info is a cut/paste from an earlier post, may be some help.
An estimated internet consumption (BANDWIDH) per month based on using your IPTV service @ 8 hours per day.
Live TV Channels:
SD = 750Kbps = 329.58 MB / Hour @ 8 Hours per Day = 81.73 GB / Month
HD = 1 Mbps = 439.43 MB / Hour @ 8 Hours per Day = 108.98 GB / Month
VoD Movies:
MicroHD = 650Kbps = 285.63 MB / Hour @ 8 Hours per Day = 70.83 GB / Month
HD = 1.4 Mbps = 615.21 MB / Hour @ 8 Hours per Day = 152.57 GB / Month

You need to do your homework. I'm also in Canada and i got unlimited internet for $45 a month so i say chop around there's a lot of options

I have found useage between 200-300 mb per hour on this service.

I have 300gb limit on my internet, and no issues at all with going over

400gb is my low end there has been months where i would use over 1 pb seriously..when you have 3 adults and 2 kids pounding away watching streaming content it adds up

We watch, on avrage 8-9 hours a day of tv. Everybody in my house combined. That includes netflix and iptv.

I have never gone over the 200gb mark including all my other net useage.

So with 9 hours a day watching, and normal internet useage I would be fine with 200gb per month

Also, make sure you turn off your iptv boxes while you aren't watching.

That will save you a lot of data useage
