Streaming is cheaper

both! depending on the quality of what you're streaming/downloading..

Superlative-comparative...?



And tomorrow, the kids would be blaming JAMB for failing them.

They are same, some browser will tell u to stream online or download (maybe 100m) so which ever u choice is,you'll still end up using same mb

Streaming is way cheaper.

i streamed a 10 min youtube video and it consumed more than 70mb. Dat same video i downloaded at 25mb so downloading is better

DOWNLOADING

Is it that we're running out of creative minds in this forum?
See thread for morning abeg

Encryptjay sorry to say dis bro.. I checked all your topics you'av created but non is eloquent enough to share ideals so what the f*ck are you talking about.
Nor b say u even know anything sef!

I prefer downloading to streaming.

Saves data

I think streamlining is cheaper, not so sure though

Same

With crappy Nigerian networks.

Downloading is safer

Downloading is cheaper. Streaming requires a fast internet connection too ...atleast 3g.

But with my GPRS...download continues

Downloading ofcourse .

Streaming is far cheaper...
I do both, i can stream 7hours a day

try streaming a 100mb video with 5mb and downloading a 50mb video with 1mb.. Lemme know the result when you are done.

Downloading is cheaper... Depending on quality.

Hope this helps:

When you stream a video or music, the file itself doesn’t live on your device’s hard drive. It’s accessed on the internet, temporarily, while you’re using it. That’s why streaming is used by many sites offering free or rented content: you have access to it but you don’t “own” the content. Streaming is great for watching or listening to content on any device – your internet-connected TV, smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Streaming works better with a faster internet connection as you’re listening or watching in real-time.

By contrast, when you download a video or music, the file itself lives on your hard drive and takes up space there. This means that, once downloaded, you can use it again and again, and not have to download it each time. However, you often have to pay more for downloaded content than you would if you streamed it because you “own” the file. Plus, with downloaded content, it can be challenging to use it across multiple devices.

I prefer downloading, because you can playback again as many times as you want

I don't know oo but I prefer downloading, incase I need to watch the video again I don't have to spend data to view it (stream).

No phone is a smart phone until I can download fuel on it

collecting from a friend through flashare is cheaper

If it's the same video, the data required is the same whether you download it or you stream it. The only difference is that you can access the downloaded video after the browsing session.

I really don't know but I prefer streaming... How many videos will I have to download

I don't think streaming is cheaper. Try Rivering
or Seaing betterstill Oceaning

I download, I stream......since one can do both with 0MB on Airtel Kenya unlimitnet plan which they offer their subcribers.

it's the same file you are dealing with. it all depends on the video quality .
