Fibre Optic connection.

[richard slack]

ATM I have broadband connection which when using PC for other internet work causes problems naturally as I stream at 320kbps.

I have been waiting for fibre optic installation for months and finally I will get it next week.

Waiting for so long has given me time to think (always dangerous) and now I am undecided about the bandwidth to get, 50 120 or 300.

Can I ask for advice on which?
Is 50 MB enough to be able to stream at 320kbps and be able to use internet normally?
By normally I mean be able to upload to WP server upload photos to google etc. while streaming?

Price is not important but why pay for more if I wont need it.
I wont be using fibre optic to watch Netflix.

Hi Richard,

Yes 50mb should be enough to stream at 320kbps and use also the internet normally.

Although, we would recommend doing this over ethernet rather than with wifi and also ideally not to be doing any other uploading whilst streaming at the same time. You may find some of the pointers in the following FAQ helpful in regards to this: http://www.internet-radio.com/community/threads/my-radio-is-buffering-skipping.18/

Thanks for answer I'll get 50mb and the money saved will pay my coffee bills.

I always use ethernet although my Spanish wife got confused with the yellow cable, in Spain Butane pipes are painted yellow and she thought the..... she did she really did think the router worked on gas. Bless her cotton socks.
