I haven't used the Big Brother web feeds for a couple of weeks now, so this may have already been discussed, but should I be getting 220kbps streams ??

The reason I stopped using the live feeds in the first place was the low quality that I was receiving with my NTL bb connection.

Is this a temporary glitch? is anybody else getting these speeds?? has everybody else always had these speeds and i'm just rattling on for no reason???

They only do the 56K feeds. Sorry.

I'm getting 80 k on my 512 cable modem. quite watchable.

No, really - I have a 220kbps stream, and it definitely is because there is a noticeable difference: crystal clear a x1 size and still very smooth and clear at full screen size. Audio is comparable to the E4 feeds!

I am only getting these speeds on the bb1 (rtsp://nb-telecity.bigbrother.energi...er/live/bb1.rm) feed.

Where are you getting these feeds, I'd be most greatful for any infomation.

See the link in the above post. FYI - I have an NTL 512k connection. Mind you, I wouldn't have thought this would make a difference- wouldn't the speed of the stream be a server-side limitation??

Please, someone, prove that I'm not going insane!

Thanks alot, 220 k no problem. Helen looks glum though.

Only the BB feed one is 220 k, the other 3 are 80 k. They are not being limited by the server speed unless you have a dial-up connection, in which case it will be limited to you connection speed.

Correct me if i'm wrong

I have ADSL and have only been getting 80k max till this week
but was pleased to see 220k today loads better
