Sky Internet?

Hi guys hope all is well

I have a question i don't know if this has been covered in the forums, if it has perhaps someone could point me in the right direction.

I have sky internet and last saturday it seems that sky blocked ALL web pages that carried links to premiere league matches, could not get ANY page to load that carried these links. Does anyone else have this problem, was it just a one off, or is this what i can expect from my internet provider every weekend ? Used to have Virgin media, never had a problem then, wish i had never changed now.

Can anyone help?

Last Saturday was a very bad day to get a stream. Most platforms (Sopcast, Wii, Ustream, Seeon etc) struggled to cope with the demand. They had probably based their available bandwidth on the previous weekend's figures. All the 'big teams' were playing on Saturday and we have just come off an international break. I think that they were caught by surprise. Having said that, I think that most platforms are reaching their total capacity at certain times and need to increase their bandwidth.
