In terms of monthly broadband allowance is it more economical to download then play or does streaming use less.
(can't find clear answer to this elsewhere.) |

(can't find clear answer to this elsewhere.) Say a TV show is 3.5 gb in total. You would still use 3.5 gb for that show whether you streamed or downloaded it. |

I could be wrong but I don't think it matters.
