    sopcast has more links usually but its a full program, veetle on the other hand is a browser plugin and pretty good. i watched murray yesterday through veetle in hd. i watch the football on sopcast though usually more english commentary links

    Veetle is the man for you if your not on unlimited broadband. its only 4 or 5 mb. You will use your allowance streaming though i'd think. I dunno im on unlimited so i never think of these things sorry

    Veetle by far. If you know places that have veetle links, they are usually streaming directly from SkyPlayer and ridiculously high quality. Just an example, I was in Uni "revising" during the India Pakistan game in the WC this year, hijacked a lecture theatre, connected my laptop to the projectors and watched the whole game from SkySports HD on veetle.

    No-one should sign up for any internet deals with capped usage. If you have one I'd ring up and get it changed today. It's a total rip-off <ok>

    think SKY are the only other true unlimited package other than Virgin and they don't cap your torrent abuse at peak times, im with BT unlimited but they have a sneaky fair use policy that is something like 300 GB a month and they limit you downloading torrents between 4pm and midnight, not that i do any illegal downloading <ok>
