Jonny Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 So my upload speed is pretty pethetic. I stream movies on Veetle.com, but my upload speed is nowhere near as fast as it should be. I ran a few speed tests on speedtest.net and capped my download speed at 19mb/s & upload speed at 0.48mb/s. Does anybody know any way I can boost my upload speed? Quote
ALL STAR Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 Could try using a different browser and checking any software that might be using an auto update to see if its cutting in at all and the firewall would be a good place to check, thats all i can think of other than altering any connections and such. I would try a few different browsers ive noticed firefox has been going down hill with each update recently its becoming a mess. Quote
Smacktalks Posted August 5, 2010 Posted August 5, 2010 What is your max upload speed for your broadband package? I'm on 20MB down and only 500kbs up, so if your on the same package that's right. Most ISP's limit people to these kind of upload speeds to stop them running internet servers / gameservers on a home connection. Quote
Jonny Posted August 5, 2010 Author Posted August 5, 2010 I have a 20MB package with Virgin. If that's the case, then I might consider looking elsewhere for an ISP that provides a better upload limit. Quote
Smacktalks Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 You have the same package as me then, i'm not sure what other ISP's have higher upload speeds. Quote
Fozy Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 This is the UK. We don't do good upload. Retard. Quote
Smacktalks Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 We do better than 500kbs tho. Retard. Be, are the best I know from friends that use it, you can get up to 2.5mb upload speeds with them and 24mb down for around Quote
Jonny Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 Is there any download/upload restrictions per month? Quote
Fozy Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 Obviously. Why are you streaming movies? Are your friends too dimwitted to download illegally? Quote
MasterOfTheSwanton Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 My mate streams random tv shows and films on JTV but i've never understood why, he doesnt gain anything from it and it just eats up his bandwidth. Quote
Jonny Posted August 27, 2010 Author Posted August 27, 2010 Is there anything against doing something that's not for personal gain? Quote
Fozy Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I make guides for games, I stream videos of me playing games. That's useful as they help people with them or help them decide to get the game or just enjoy me playing them you know? Streaming movies is retarded. You're retarded. The people who watch your shitty quality streams are above all, the most retarded. Quote
Jonny Posted August 27, 2010 Author Posted August 27, 2010 Yes, because people would rather watch you play shitty games than waste time with a good movie. Quote
Smacktalks Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Iain's videos helped me gain achivements in Limbo! Iain have you not tried signing up as a Youtube partner? Quote
Fozy Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I've been contacted by RoosterTeeth saying I should do more guides to see if I could get some sort of wee part time job with them, or something. I'd need a lot more videos to get really recognised. Quote
Fozy Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Oh and playdead studios gave me a tshirt for being AWESOME. Quote
