With news Westnet will be streaming coverage of Aussie games in the 2010 Invested Bank Super 14 Season, now’s the perfect time for a closer look at streaming and the loads of quota-free content streamed via Freezone.

Steaming is simply a way of viewing or listening to things on the internet that avoids having to wait for the file to fully download before you can see or hear it. So if you hate waiting around for things to load on your computer, you’ll be a big fan of streaming them instead.

You can stream heaps of different files such as video clips (like YouTube) and radio (think the Freezone stations), but if you stream a lot of content you’ll need to be aware of your internet plan’s download quota limits. Heavy amounts of internet streaming will chew through your download quota, so try to keep it under control keep an eye on how much quota you’ve used by logging into MyAccount.

But Westnet broadband Members needn’t worry – Freezone is bursting with heaps of great content that won’t eat up your monthly download quota.  On top of the 2010 Investec Bank Super 14 Season, sports fans will enjoy Barclays Premier League soccer streamed directly to your computer quota-free.

You can also catch up on your favourite television shows with ABC iView – featuring best of ABC TV, on-demand and immediately after it broadcasts. Then there’s Freezone Kids, our safe online entertainment playground designed especially for young ones!

All this quota-free viewing is a feast for the eyes, but Freezone offers something for your listening pleasure, too.

Plus your music downloads are quota-free when you purchase them through iTunes.
