Re: Every ISP is trying to scare you... said by qworster:Yeah! While at the same time capping you and complaining about the non-existant 'exaflood' that's always about to happen! I also thought that article was both funny, and not funny at the same time. I wonder how many people get affected by that.
Despite that advertising, I can tell you that while I didn't enjoy it that much, I was able to use YouTube (this was before they offered HD Video anyway) on a connection with 1.5Mbps of download.
In fact, if a household does nothing but e-mail and simple web browsing (no YouTube or anything), I don't see why 1.5Mbps wouldn't be enough for several people. Though granted, I can't imagine that situation coming up that often anymore.
One could even use YouTube with dial-up (something I've actually tried before). It's not fun, and you must wait for the entire video to download, but it can be done. |
