This time it makes it further in the video, and then bandwidth is lost again.<br \/>\nWTF?<br \/>\nIt is obvious to me.  Verizon Broadband is cutting off my bandwidth.  They see me streaming a high bandwidth video on their network, figure it out at various times, and then shut me off.  The same thing happened with SBC on the West Coast.  I was streaming the Ironman Championships from Kona all day, and finally after 9 hours, SBC decides to cut me off.<br \/>\nThis sucks.  When are the internet providers going to just allow me to do this whenever I want?  They need to upgrade their networks so each of us can stream that much all the time, 24\/7.
