FWIW, I've been streaming nearly constantly for near 24 hours now, and as |
11 |
long as I keep it to 360p and thus under 1 Mbps average, it's |
12 |
surprisingly stable. The hotel has multiple access points, apparently |
13 |
enough that wifi bandwidth isn't seriously contested, and that 1 Mbit |
14 |
average (allowing 1.3 Mbit for short bursts) level would appear to be a |
15 |
deliberate per-user cap. |

Rather better than I had feared and definitely survivable. =:^) |

Tho of course at least 720p streaming, which would extrapolate to 5Mbps, |
19 |
would be nice... |
