I support places that have 1.5 Mbps download speed, and just finished downloading approx. 2 GB at each. It took about 6.5 hours at each place. Not something I would recommend for anybody. A lot of folks who live in the boonies use satellite for Internet. Have you investigated that?
What I mean is, since it seems I can't stream a movie w/ internet speed of 1.5 mbps, is it possible with these streaming sites, like NetFlix, to dump or, perhaps, buffer the entire show/movie, then watch it? Or, are these sites strictly limited to real-time streaming? I'm not expecting to be able to download the whole thing, but thought it worth asking the question. We live in boonies - still using NetFlix snail mail. I'm just trying to see if there are any work-arounds that might help us overcome this slow internet speed. Our ISP has not shown any inclination to increase our service speed.
Any info is appreciated!
Thanks.
