Heh, indeed they do, the next series I want, all 7 seasons is a cool 65Gb, prolly only take a few years on a 2Mb line! :D

And btw, you could watch Netflix,etc just fine on a 2mb uncapped bundle. I was worried that it would be too slow, but its not. Apart from the first 30 seconds or so in the beginning when it loads, I don't find any other hiccups during the rest of the movie / series.

I've streamed Amazon Prime just fine on a 2mb line, 720p, haven't forced higher than that (Amazon automatically chooses the best resolution for your connection speed), could probably force it up to 1080p, with a bit more waiting for the buffering. But, don't have Prime atm, just used my free month, but am looking at renewing it, as well as my VPN, within the next few months!. So for now am downloading stuff! yarrrrr!

It took me a week to download a series (few weeks back) - from season 1 to 10. So definitely won't take that long ;)
 
do these sites download programmes for viewing later, or is it some sort of streaming?
 
Are there streaming sites that show kids stuff like cbeebies and Justins house and kiddies shows etc?
Do we still need to pay for a telephone line even if we dont use it to make calls?

Hulu & Netflix stream, I know with Amazon you have the option to download if you want, but then I you have to use their app for viewing. However, then you also have to rent/buy the movie (Amazon Prime is unlimited streaming only). Not sure if Netflix/Hulu offer this, will have to ask someone who uses/used them.

Any websites I can use to "trial" the streaming, I tried Hulu but they want credit card details, Netflix still says nopt avialble in your country and im using Hola Unblocker in Chrome.
 
quick question... do some browsers sream better than others? eg chrome vs firefox

Both require a Credit Card, some people use virtual cards to access/pay em. Both cases you need to specify a US address on signup.

You can use an SA card to sign up, I used mine, this will give you the trial.

Then you must get gift cards on Ebay.

My bad, I used a US CC of a friend that I pay(Well he signed up for me) so was not aware that Hulu accepted SA cards. I know when I did sign up last year they rejected my Capitec one.
 
I clicked onto Hulu.com and they say "can only be streamed within the US..."
How do you get around this?
