Bell launches video download store

Article


With more than 1,500 movies and TV titles available, the Bell Video Store is the country's first online service ...
.
.
Bell says the content is “DVD and above quality,” delivered at bit rates from 1.5 to 2.5, resulting in file sizes of about one gigabyte for one hour of content. As a result, the service requires a broadband Internet connection capable of sustaining transfer speeds of 800 kilobits per second or more.


Didn't you choke down your connection to prevent such abuse by high traffic users ? Isn't your limit 30 gigabytes per month ? Thats about 30 hours ...

... oh yes. Not your own product ! Only the competition !

*laughing out loud*

And you can't sell to anyone else, like rogers, because they have download limits too, so they can't do movies by anyone !

Vender lock. You on the bell network may buy bell movies only. And no one elses.

Personally. I go to the store, I buy movies for 15$-30$ , and I keep them. Forever. I have quite the selection.
