Re: Slow ATV HD download
For one thing you're using Comcast which is known to throttle. Is your connection 15Mbps all the time? Comcast has something called speedboost(or something like that) which speeds up your connection basically uncapped for the first 10 seconds or so and then throttles it down. This makes the speed tests look good like yours but when you're actually using it to download large files it's way slower. My rough calculation based on the % per minute you said, plus about a 4GB file is between 5-6 Mbit if those numbers are accurate.
I'm not sure about the Fios problem.
The files are 4Mbit maximum so if you have a connection faster than that you should be able to watch it live. If you have a connection slower than the bit rate of the movie you have to wait until the whole movie is downloaded before you can watch it. |
