iPlayer Costs ISPs £1 Million.

ISPs are facing a sharp increase in bandwidth costs due to internet TV services such as iPlayer from the BBC and it continues to grow in the popularity stakes. With news that more than 2.2 million people watched a programme from the BBC in January. ISP PlusNet shows that streaming costs have tripled, in the first month that the iPlayer service operated.

The costs have risen from 6.1p per month to 18.3p per user, which means that if all the figures are correct then when iPlayer was added it also brought with it a cost of £1 million to the ISPs costs.
