100M Streaming Graph

For anyone who is interested, I've attached a graph of streaming a 'Lovefilm' movie via a Sony BluRay player.
Shows realtime data rates for approx. 6.5 minutes.

interesting, did you notice any buffering or pixelation or could you watch the film unhindered?

Don't notice any issues at all. I think the BluRay player may be buffering and also Lovefilm do a bandwidth test before any film is played. So, it all works pretty well.

I might try the same thing, but using the XBox 360 as the player to see if the graph shapes up any differently. It may buffer more to it's internal HD.?

Interesting graph.

I never see pixillation when watching LoveFilm (also through my Sony Blu-Ray player) but occasionally it stops and re-buffers. I thought this might be down to my wireless signal, but unless it's an issue with that particular player, I don't think it is as everything else works fine.

When doing the pre-film test, I see around 17Mb/s on the screen. When it stops it shows about 0.3Mb/s
