This is old,, this was mentioned a fucking long time ago, its either "them" and a new packaging, or someone else jumping on the bandwagon... it was laughed at before, im still laughing now...
Idea in theory is great, but network structure around the world needs to be standardized and give a good solid bandwidth... Lets all play games over pc-anywhere lulzz....
well ti could be as i said in theory, but you really think its gonna be smooth sailing?
yes, if I can sit in my bed and play games off of my pc with my laptop that isn't powerful enough to run what my desktop can, then it's already proved a success.
I don't care about playing games off of my pc when im 2000 miles away from home.
Ah it can do that home network streaming... I was, seeing it more as a sales pitch for the 2000 miles away malarky...
but yes i see that could be good, if you spend alot of time in bed playing games that is
I can't see it working well far from home in the states, we don't have what you guys got overseas, well we do but it's not implimented yet.
What im curious to know is if I can play a game on my desktop but stream it to my laptop as another instance of it. So basically my computer would run 2 of the same game.

What I wonder is how much bandwidth this will use.
Companies are starting to implement bandwidth limits. The one's that haven't, will eventually because they have to purchase that bandwidth from another company. When their user base starts going over the amount the provider is paying for, they will either institute bandwidth limits and/or raise prices.

would be nice for LANs tho (Lancafés etc where you pay to play). Alltho nobody goes there anymore afaik. Would have been great couple years ago. Have a bunch of high end pc in the backroom running, while people play the game on cheap ass comps in the Mainroom
They do claim you can install crysis at home and play it "anywhere" which we know is BS. on a home network with gigabit ethernet, maybe it'll be fine. If you throw wireless into it, not so much.

because you rarely actually get that regardless of what the wireless reports you're connected at.
And you only get a theoretical maximum of 54 megabits, which works out to around 7 megabytes as a theoretical maximum. Most people get at best half of that.
uhhh have you not heard of draft N? With draft N wireless you can get like 20mbytes/s. Been out for more than 2 years lol.
again, all theoretical. Wireless is impacted by many things in your house and you don't get those speeds reliably, dependent on what you're wearing, the weather that day, are there neighbours on the same channel, portable phones, etc
I don't think any realy internet company here in the states is going to do that, it'd = death for em.
I have ATT DSL and can't see them doing it, but we top at 6mbit
Comcast has it. They have a 250 gig/month limit.
A new competitor is moving into the market where i live with Fiber Optic. They are going to have it as well.
AT&T is testing cap limits in Nevada.
Time Warner is also in the process of imposing bandwidth caps in some test markets.
Like I said, they buy that bandwidth through a 2nd company. They don't have their own bandwidth. People are using too much bandwidth and it is starting to impact their alloted bandwidth from THEIR providers.
Currently, the only way to avoid a cap through Comcast is to buy a business package. It doesnt have the caps (currently any way) but it is significantly more expensive.
" AT&T is conducting a market trial in Reno, Nevada to evaluate a usage-based model that could potentially help address today’s trend of explosive bandwidth usage. The trial may be extended to one other market by the end of the year.
Beginning Nov. 1, 2008, new AT&T High Speed Internet customers in Reno will receive a bandwidth usage amount ranging from between 20 Gigabytes (GB) and 150 GB, depending on their broadband speed tier. Later this year, existing AT&T High Speed Internet customers in Reno will become a part of this trial if their monthly usage exceeds 150 GB in one month. These customers will receive a usage amount of 150 GB per month.
Once they're a part of the trial, customers will receive a one month grace period the first time usage is exceeded. Thereafter, customers will be charged $1 for every GB over their determined usage amount. All customers in the trial will receive a bandwidth measuring tool so they can track their usage. We will let all impacted customers know about the trial specifics at least 60-days ahead of any overage charges. We’ll also proactively let customers know each time they reach 80 percent of their usage amount. We will not terminate service due to customer usage.
We have previously stated that some type of usage based model, for those customers who have abnormally high usage patterns, seems inevitable. A small group of customers are using the majority of bandwidth on our network. In fact, almost 50 percent of total bandwidth is used by just five percent of customers – customers, for example, who are uploading and downloading the equivalent of more than 40,000 YouTube videos or 40 million e-mails a month. This kind of heavy usage has an impact on all of our customers.
This trial will help us evaluate ways of dealing with surging usage trends while continuing to meet customer needs for a high quality broadband experience at an affordable price."

Loool, and I thought Poland is way behind USA. No limits here on (A)DSL.
Maybe it's because there isn't a big enough drain on the providers bandwidth there. . . yet.
It has nothing to do with being behind. it has to do with how many people are customers and how much said customers use in terms of bandwidth.
