2mbps and youtube

[sybertiger]

what is the max quality that a 2mbps can stream
i guess 480p

but how can it stand up to 720p?

You need just under 3.3 meg to play 720p without buffering, since about 11% of the TCP bandwidth is the packet header / overheads.

Got this from a website:

240p 1Mbps

360p with low bitrate 1Mbps

360p with high bitrate 2Mbps

480p with low bitrate 2Mbps

480p with high bitrate 5Mbps

720p with low bitrate 5Mbps

720p with high bitrate 8Mbps

1080p with low bitrate 10Mbps

1080p with high bitrate 12Mbps

I can play 1080p here at work with 10Mbps line without buffering

If you use YouTube downloader, you can specify a higher resolution image, but might have a wait a bit longer. My CellC connection (between 3 and 10mb/sec) seems ok with even the highest res movies
