Hey.

I have someone new in my household who is now using the Internet.

It's VM and as such gets throttled if a lot of data is used.

I was wondering how much data a 2 hour long session of a Sky app Sky Sports stream would use?

Any ideas ?

You could try resetting your counter and use the app for half and hour and you'd get a rough idea?

I think it's somewhere in the region of 200Mb/hour. I use it with a MiFi dongle, and seem to use roughly 300-350Mb per football match (I skip half-time, clearly a waste of bandwidth!). So it's comparable to iPlayer or 4OD. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot. The phone only shows cellular data so it didn't include wifi.

300mb a match

That's like.....over half of the Virgin allowance in the evening for a match, an some other results shows
