[citation][nom]ac21365[/nom]Too bad no US ISP's (say for FIOS) sell enough upload to make this worth my time to upload in a timely manner. Unless I leave it running overnight.[/citation]

What are you talking about? Verizon has bomb upload. They have 15/5, 25/15, and 50/20. I think we are supposed to get 25/15, and we get 26/22.

[citation][nom]dainsane1[/nom]This sounds good in theory; but who has the steady bandwidth to stream 1080p? then next issue would be the download caps that are being enforced by more isp's these days. As is my streaming usage lands me near my cap. *sarcastic voice* thank you rogers /EndRant[/citation]

Streaming the videos should work fine on your average 10Mb connection or whatever is the norm over there (most people in my town here in Sweden have 50Mb or 100Mb for about $30 - $40 a month). The question is, can the Youtube servers keep up? Isn't Youtube already losing money?
