crazy slow download on Hurt Locker
I'm trying to order Hurt Locker 1080p but its downloading at an unbelievably slow rate. any one seeing these types of issues? Its been going for nearly an hour and is 6% in (about 10-15 minutes of movie). I just ran a speed test, 22Mbps down, 1.8Mbps up. I regularly can download large files from real servers (like apple or microsoft) at 3 MB/s - a 2 GB file takes like 15-20 minutes.
I've done this in the past and if I give it 20 minutes or so I can watch a movie and never hit a buffer. Also can do the same on xbox "zune hd video" service (also 1080p)
I called TS, and after a long time on hold was told "Yes, it takes a while. 1080p takes 6 to 10 hours so plan ahead". they claimed (although did not seem to check) everything was great on their end. Clearly they can't scale this and don't want to admit it. frustrating... guess i'll spend my On Demand money with Zune
