However here's the basic math: if you have average video duration of 180min (that's 3hours) you would have 180000 minutes of video. At 600kbps that's 4.5MB/min of bandwidth and a total of 810GB of bandwidth per month. With a bandwidth based pricing you need to look for a plan of 1TB/month for example. With a per-stream based pricing you need to look how a stream unit is defined. For example my company defines a stream of up to 10 min of video and would charge 18 streams per 3hour video playback. Which leads to 18000 streams requirement per month which is the <a href="http://www.streamingvideoprovider.co.uk/charges.html" rel="nofollow">Business + or Business Pro streaming plan</a> depending on other requirements. @Moy
