[QUOTE="incold, post: 809583, member: 320080"] The Sky in London is my daughters' and not shared with anyone. I believe the Slingbox does not use all the available space (hence headroom) on the upload link, because if it did it would vary when we use the same uplink with Skype, and it does not. The download speed never varies (the Slinbox is normally set to Auto, but we tried all the other settings which make no difference, and turning Skype video on and off makes no difference). The change from a old BT link to BT Infinity immediately put the download speed up to 1700 (approx), and for interest Skype connection on that link also does not affect the Slingbox speeds - but the Skype is far better on Infinity. It seems obvious that the Slingbox cannot be using the full capacity of either link. We are going to try two Slingboxes on the same link for fun! As soon as FTTC reaches my UK address I will also try several other experiments in the UK (but that will probably be 2018 at the present rate, if I live that long as we are in Hastings, where it is theoreticallyavailable but no one can get it!) We are also going to switch from a fixed line to an area WiFi link in Italy, as we live in the middle of nowhere so we can get 10 mbit download and 1 mbit upload cheaper than a fixed line; will be interested to see if the Slingbox reception varies with that end as well, even if we can't see why it should. Would always be interested in connecting to other sources for experiments if they are available, as I am convinced better speeds are possible on the existing connections [/QUOTE]
