As an iPlayer user who has recently fallen <a href="http://vextasy.wordpress.com/2008/04/13/fair-use-for-bt-unlimited-broadband-traffic-shaping/" rel="nofollow">foul</a> of my ISP's fair use policy I can't understand why the BBC iPlayer Download Manager doesn't include an option to download only at off-peak (or given) times. When I queue up a program for download I often watch it a day or two later - there is no need for it to be downloaded at peak time. A really useful article, thanks.

I guess the full costs for LLU stack up fairly closely to BT Wholesales costs otherwise there would be greater pressure for LLU. Cheers Thanks for an informative and hype free breakdown.

There is nowt in my contract about charges for such. BBC RadioPlayer has now become RadioIplayer. Have 'listened again' on these BBC systems for some time. Downloaded and viewed 2 BBC4 progs a few weeks ago. Currently on £14.99 [currently £9.99] monthly DirectDebit. The promise of up to 8mbs has yet never been more than 3.3. What chance of an improvement? Do you plan to charge for iPlayer usage? If so, wwhen and how? Pat Kearley Your latest email is the first re iPlayer usage.
