How much BBC iplayer for 2gb

Is says that you only get 4 hours of video for £15. How much BBC iplayer do you get?

This would depend on the length of the progamme, and the quality of the transmission.

 

For example, one of the BBC "Frozen Planet" wildlife programmes in HD (vmode flashhd) is about 1.2GB, from memory.

Vodafone data packs are a rip off

I'm not sure that using the cell network for streaming HD content is really what it was intended to cope with, to be honest!

Because it's not dial-up speeds, that's why!!
If you want 'proper' broadband get cable or ADSL if both are avalable near you, assuming you can afford it.
