Re: Rules out HD???? Say what?
said by digitalis99  :Last time I checked, I own several WMVHD DVD's that contain 1080i content in a ~6Mbps data rate. Well, those are pretty shitty quality movies...
It rules out MPEG2 HD streams, yes, but not MPEG4 HD streams.
If you like HD-Lite a'la DirecTV then you're right.
Otherwise no, it's not enough. Full 9Mbit is enough for one nice quality WMVHD stream but then you don't have internet at all.
Yes, I'm aware of the fact that one stream of HD would reduce you to 3Mbps worth of Internet connectivity.
No, it's just HD-Lite - real HD would reduce you to almost 0. 
Also last I checked, that was still the MAX speed of a residential Verizon DSL circuit. It's nothing to snivel at.
Last time you misunderstood something - it's ADSL2+, pal, with 15-25Mb max.  |
