Any good video streaming sites out there?

[cain]

I was wondering if there were any good video streaming sites out there. I have t-mobile US. I know GPRS is rather slow but I'm sure there are some streaming sites out there that might cater to GPRS customers.

If anyone has any sites, please list them here

maybe you should know that GPRS is very expensive -especial we want stream video or music over GPRS. 10kb = -.10 (100kb = 1.-, 1Mb = 10.-, 10mb = 100.-) TOO MUCH!!! (

if you have enogh money for streaming you can find some streams on online Tv-sites in the internet that has 56kbit -just write the link directly into phone realplayer.

Maybe cain has flat-rate GPRS subscription, y-cyas, so it doesn't really matter for him. I don't know where he lives, but here in Indonesia, with Indosat Matrix, you can get unlimited GPRS access for only about Rp. 250,000 (US$25) per month.

I think GPRS would be way too slow.... Would be more like a slideshow then.

is that true? unlimited GPRS for just 25$? WOW... so cheap -really like normal internet...

in switzerland best prize $60.- for 1Gb, usual prize 10kb = -.10), germany 10kb = -.10, new zealand 10kb = -.10 very expensive!

how much cost one minute phone calling and sms in indonesia of a prepaid card?

i m in war with the network provider from new zealand and switzerland.

unlimited GPRS for Tmobile is only 20 bucks a month...I use it...but last time I checked streaming live video/audio on the phone doesn't work, the only streaming that works is from a solid state file, not a constantly updated playlist like internet radio.

@y-cyas
SMS in Indonesia is Rp. 350 (USCent 3.5). Call to local fixed line is Rp. 800 (USCent . Call to long distance fixed line is Rp. 4000 (USCent 40). Call to local mobile is Rp. 1600 (USCent 16). Call to long distance fixed line is Rp. 4000 (USCent 40). They're all of course per minute.

Postpaid is usually 60-70% cheaper. My provider event count conversation in seconds. So, sometimes, I would have a short conversation that is waaay cheaper than a "chain/pingpong" SMS.

When I was in US, April - June 2004, GPRS for pre-paid was launched as a free service by T-Mobile, I leeched it soo much that I was using my then 3650 for internet via bluetooth. I was using VNC to my corporate servers, about 56kbps over HSCSD feature of Nokia (or maybe higher by the performance), I guess e680i goes only upto 28.8 kbps but I am not 100% sure. But should be enough for video streaming.

@inijohan

that sounds good.. much cheaper than in switzerland or germany with a prepaid

what is Postpaid? a Plan/abo/contract with the handphoe provieder?


@tazzix

GPRS was free in the US in 2004? do you know its free today too, or was it just for a test period?
