I'm lucky in just one respect: No one else around here uses this service, so I'm very rarely ever under 45mbps. so that's nice I guess. if nice is measured in sads, I'd give it 6 sads out of 10.
I use a nice ASUS router, but it doesn't matter much since I basically never use wireless except for my PS3 since I was too lazy to run a second cable over after I plugged the original one into the PS4

I can't get mine to work well on wireless so I bought one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWRUIY4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's working but I haven't tested out to see if it fixed my streaming issue or not. I didn't see any performance issues on my VM that I am running the service on in the logs, so the wireless is the only thing I could think of, and I can't really easily put in a cable long enough to run to the bedroom from my desk, at least not safely with my child running around, or that wouldn't look like ***, and I can't pop holes in the wall, unfortunately.

nah, I use my One (Airstream) to stream media through my PC to my TV since I was able to pick up a smart TV on the cheap (under $200 for a 1080p 30", has some backlight bleed on black screens but otherwise pretty nice for the price).

Oh I'm not a fan of "smart tvs" and would never get a One.
My friend keeps hounding me because I was bitching about ps3 media server as I was having issues with it even showing the files (resolved that, somehow, needed a few more reboots, couldn't get the thing configured in my linux vm (no gui, and I'm still learning linux so I have no idea how to manually install a DE and get a display to show as it somehow doesn't recognize one...)so had to use Windows...) I'll probably test it later, just trying to think of what shows were lagging like hell.

I would love to get 10mbps. 1.8mbit here for ~$80 a month. Fastest you can get at my house and it's DSL. Only other options are dial up or satellite... and *** that.

Sat wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the awful latency, if you can combine it with a decent latency connection, you'd be set.
edit: assuming you don't really need ***for upload.

The chances of that happening are like almost zero. We have DirecTV and lose the signal so much either due to heat, rain, or *insert other weather here*.

Ours went out last week for around 3 hours when we had a really really humid day.
Luckily I rarely watch it since there is nothing ever good on. No anime and such.
By Jetackuu 2014-04-14 01:32:56
either you don't have a decent satellite in your area, or your transponder signal is weak, we tweaked the hell out of ours for a long time to get it to align the best, and I think it even hits a second one to get HD.
Edit: either way, that sucks.

Our receivers are old. Like only has composite connectors and a coaxial. Parents don't want to upgrade them. Also the chance of very few or shitty satellites are probably high too. Only ever find one signal and it's like in the 80s.
I would upgrade them but no real point for me.

I only pay $40 a month for this, but that's because i pay for the whole year up front.

Yeah that would probably change everything.
It's funny, my work net is much faster but I can't watch streams in as high of quality as I do at home.

Your work have sort of QOS enabled? or node limitations on bandwidth?

I set the qos and gave myself priority actually but as far as node limitations go, it might have those.
Downloads go at the speed it should but streams are terrible.

You set it on the routers/switches? I'll be honest, I'm not fully aware of what settings would have to be done for all of that, I've barely grazed over cisco stuff.

Yeah, I set it on our main router that all switches (two of them) are connected to. It's not too much different from normal qos. Just a little more robust.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
