I have gigabit and my users who have gigabit have no problem watching but those on 300mbps can hit a snag. But I only host remuxes
I have xshitty 200/15 service at my house and share my server with my parents and sister, plus a have a Roku stick I take on travel. I set them up for 720/2Mbps or 3mbps remote view quality and have yet to encounter any issues. I have everything for a few old school 480 rips up to 4k. Everything except local feeds gets transcoded with quicsync.
Yea symmetric connections are great I made sure to get one when moving to a new place.
The worst thing is that my only other choice is ADSL at 7M/768k. I live a mile from a university with two 500Gb primary connections and regularly tops 10Gb net throughout on a daily basis.
Almost better off with tmobiles 5G if you only had adsl. I’ve never had comcast but did have spectrum. It wasn’t that bad but definitely worse than fiber. I had fiber since 2006 or so at my parents with symmetric 25 or 50.
I think I have the option to hit 5gb but I just have a seed box
Yeah...except we're 5 miles from the closest interstate, so T-mo home service puts us in the "Lite" option. If you've never looked, the "Lite" option is not "Lite" because it's cheaper - they charge you the same (more if you're a Magenta/MegentaMax subscriber) and cap you at 50GB. LOL Someday I'll move and get better internet. :-/
