I wonder what kind of speed would be required to stream a 480p movie from my computer, this is something I really want to be able to do with my Pandora.
700MB = 716800KB
716800KB/350KB/s = 2048s =~ 34 minutes. You could download a 1 hour SD video in 34 minutes.
In one hour, you could download a 1.2 gig file. More or less. Got to account for instability, and that 350KB/s is through his internet connection, so who knows what it actually is on a local server. Provided it is at least as good on a local server as through the internet, you should have no problem streaming reasonably encoded SD video.

How many people are in your building? I just find this hard to believe, not calling you a lair.. I'm just very curious... might save us some money![]()
What would people take as a minimum speed?
Why not let the driver stay in the kernel and offer those dongles in the shop for a few bucks?hch said:ah, hardware after all. great that you found it.
too bad just that i won't get the little wifi thingie and a chance to solder the board myself; would have loved that![]()
Awakening said:I pay for "up to" 100 Mb/s and I ran a program that tested my connection to be about 76 Mb/s down and 36 Mb/s up, and I believe there are 48 apartments in this building. I'm paying about $50 a month, there are cheaper options. These kinds of speeds are pretty common for those who can plug a TP cable right into a wall socket, most providers offers up to 2 Mb/s or up to 100 Mb/s. Sweden have if not the best then one of the worlds best Internet networks. We are talking miles and miles of optical fiber cable here, covering most of the country.
The Pandora will NEVER be able to take full advantage of these speeds, even in the absolute perfect conditions.tokyosky said:I have a 100mbit hikari line here in Tokyo and my girlfriend has a 1000mbit KDDI One.
It would be nice if the Pandora could make use of this kind of bandwidth
Another resistor is added on top, check the quotes thread.Alpha2 said:Is the process to remove and replace the resistor or is it something that's just being added to what's already there to fix the issue?
The way I interpret the situation, MWeston just found the problem, did a quick test without proper setup(just did some browsing) and went to bed. Chances are, that they'll improve it further so that you may get full speed when the device is delivered.Mithrildor said:I just hope Im still getting my dongle. 350 KBps is not enough and if this was already a hardware fault then there has to be one more capping the chip at 1/2 of its speed (700KBps is possible). I need to be able to use my 30Mbps internet connection.
I just hope this isnt one of the many hardware mistakes.

I envy you. 512kb costs $25/month here. The best package offered is 15mbit, which costs $200/month. The only other options are satellite or cellular.
