Internet Connection Performance & ISP Characteristics
 
The majority of Internet Service Providers (ISP) offer a minimum 256/64kbps broadband plan. This plan meets the minimum requirements for viewing Videolinq mediasite videostreams. It is however recommended to check your internet connection performance and speed at ozspeedtest. Simply connect to the site and click the "Run Speed Test" button. Then choose your appropriate ISP. Click the 70KB test and observe the download speed results. You will need a minimum of approx 100 - 150kbps line speed and 13 - 18 KB/s download speed to your computer to access acceptable (continuity of sound and vision) videostreaming services.
