<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Frizzle @ Feb 14 2008, 11:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Thats what I figured as well.
Australian internet is pretty crap compared to overseas so streaming at a higher res might be stretching it a little. I'll probably play it safe with Standard res for the year unless this trial performs really well.
Depends who you are with. I sync at 20,000kb/s and did a test to Yokohama to see what the throuput would be.
That should give me plenty of margin as motogp.com say that you only need 1100.
Why test to yokohama you ask?
Motogp use the Akamai system for their media, and last year I found that the live broadcast resolved to an Akamai farm in Tokyo. As the Tokyo server for speedtest seems to be broken, I used the one next door.
I found that when you watch the video of the race at a later date, the Akamai farm used is in San Francisco.
What does speedtest show for 'Frisco.
Interesting.
Sad thing is that my isp hosts an Akamai farm in my home town, but it appears it is up to Akamai as to which farms are used.
