I think this is really the result.

**Aus_Karlos** · 07-13-2007, 10:18 AM

Your Latency is a bit high and you have a 5% loss on one connect but that happens, most of that is out of your control because its most likely your ISP. There are other possibility's high network/internet traffic during the time you watch the Vids.. But other then that your line is fine

**johnwill** · 07-13-2007, 12:13 PM

What does a speed test at www.speakeasy.net/speedtest look like at the time you're seeing the issues with streaming?

edchar · 07-17-2007, 06:27 AM

Last Result:
Download Speed: 117 kbps (14.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 90 kbps (11.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

This was the result. I made this speedtest when I'm also having video streaming.

**johnwill** · 07-17-2007, 02:27 PM

Well, you need to stop any other Internet activity to get an accurate reading.

edchar · 07-26-2007, 07:46 PM

I need help how to configure my video streaming to become faster.. because I went to an internet cafe, I looked into their speed of internet.. the result was only upto 115kbps , but when I watched videos which is 22mins. long, their streaming is too fast.. the buffering of the video was only for 20 secs. .

cductivickey · 08-21-2009, 01:58 PM

Hi I was just facing some Problems with Video streaming and came accross this post thru google. Well i am facing the same kinda Problem , A week back my pc was playing videos Perfectly fine , suddenly all Videos online are playing extremEly slow :( . The Internet connection has nothing to do with it as i have checkd the speed ( its better than before )

these are the Speed test results from speakeasy

Download Speed: 330 kbps (41.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 145 kbps (18.1 KB/sec transfer rate)

so i guess this speed is enough to play smooth videos (as i used to play videos smoothly earlier) with the same connection.. I have No malware or spyware on my computer( I just installed XP completly) no repair day before yesterday after getting tired wid dis issue). and still its not running fine,. I have VLC plugins,Real player plugins, Wmp Plugins etc,.

i AM USING FIREFOX 2.0.11
mY PC Is win xp sp2
P4 1.5 GHZ 512ram nVIDIA GFORCE 2MX card .( I think these details wont help as this issue has started suddenly on this same machine.

rest what i Think is There are some Tweaks and settings that i have messed up with ( accidently may be). so can any1 guide me , what are the basic requirements for online streaming videos , suppose at youtube ???

Another thing i have noticed , firefox doesnt list FLV file type in Manage file choice option.

Hardware acceleration is disabled.

Please Help. Its really Annoying as Most of my Work is based on Daily News Videos. :(

Cheers

cductivickey · 08-21-2009, 02:00 PM

is tehre anything to do with my Hard Drive ??? as My hard drive is pretty Old. and its at its Last stage,

ebackhus · 08-22-2009, 01:37 AM

The line speed you have is generally inadequate for video streaming. A 3Mb connection or better is what you want for that type of connectivity.

T_T · 09-11-2009, 12:05 AM

Heres my speed test from speakeasy

Last Result:
Download Speed: 8781 kbps (1097.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 742 kbps (92.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
