We offer Low Quality to try and offer the best possible mobile solution.
It is of coerce the factor of your area, the reception level and how many people are using the same 3G network. Other factors include your phones hardware.
Some people find it fine over edge, some dont. Some find it great over 3g, others dont. Too many variables to give you a definitive answer.
Give it a try, and if it disconnects click again to reconnect.
I would love to try but unfortunately i'm waiting for Vodafone to unblock your services.

GPRS > EDGE (2.5G) > 3G > HSDPA (3.5G)
I wouldn't expect TVC to be particularly watchable over an EDGE connection personally. Please use the above traffic light reference to visualise the minimum requirement for reliable OTA reception. Good 3G coverage should be ample for service but clearly, quicker is better.

Yer, will be a good day when Voda lift the block.
Not a block on our services though.

Vodafone is still blocking RTSP streams, for the sake of the children, eight months after claiming the block was a temporary measure, thoughiPhone users remain free to stream what they like.
