Thread: query

i have a 512kbps BSNL broadband... but still the streaming videos dont load at instant... like they buffer and play buffer and play... can anyone plz tell me how much of "min" speed should the net be for the videos (like on facebook and youtube)to continuously buffer and play with no lag

for 512Kbps the speed is 64 KB/sec ( *Ideal conditions )

"min" speed should the net be for the videos

above should be adequate. min 2 Mbps speed recommended.

check your speed here.

3.
try to optimize speed with
tcp optimizer from speedguide.net.
4.
recheck speed as above.

Feedback.

but there are several factors that determine this.
First is size, a 640 by 480 VGA is much less data
then a 1024 by 780 video. You can get decent video at low bandwidth
with small sized videos, like 320 by 200. Next is compression. Almost all videos are compressed to reduce the amount of data.
Some compressions are better then others,
but the most aggressive compressions are lossy compressions,
you lose information. Third is consistency.
The available bandwidth often fluctuates dramatically.
Most video players will buffer the data to prevent this from
showing up during the playing of the video.

Search term: min speed for videos.

thanks for the reply buddy

I am using UL 750 and my speed is 60 KBps. I am getting good response from YouTube. I can watch Youtube with minimum buffering or sometimes no buffering when no other application using internet are not running. Try SpeedBit video accelerator. It may help. Makes sure there are no other programs in the background using internet.
