There’s been a lot of talk in the media about the BBC’s iPlayer in the past few weeks with stories on The Register such as this and this, The Guardian here and here, ThinkBroadband, Screendigest, ZDNet, and hundreds more on other places too, some of which are linked here.There’s also been lots of talk about the availability of iPlayer, there’s news about plans for the Mac version and a US version too is apparently on the way.
We, though, can give a different perspective, a bit of insight on things and maybe explode a few myths. Here’s just a few headlines:
- 5% growth in total average usage since 1st December
- 66% growth in volume of streaming traffic since 1st December
- 2% growth in the number of customers using their connection for streaming since 1st December

- 100% growth in the number of customers using over 1GB of streaming in a month since December
