anywhere on the internet, except the ADSL between your ISP and your computer.
Why not try on a few other computers in the neighborhood with different ISP's? Friends, colleagues, work, school, library, internet cafe, anything you can imagine.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Hello,
This summer I purchase a slingbox which uploads a tv signal onto the internet such that you can remotely view your television programming from anywhere in the world. The slingbox is located in my parents house in Texas and I live in the middle east. I thought this was the perfect solution for a college football fan. My problem is that my stream bitrate that I am getting from the box in my parents home is around 150k at best; not very good picture quality. However, when I log into a slingbox in oregon (customer support center), I attain bitrates of 300k+.
My question is: is the path that the tv signal uses to get to my home in the middle east vary so much such that the signal could be so different. My parents have SBC DSL with up to 400k of upload bandwidth. It views well if located in the US.
My second question is: would another ISP(is RoadRunner) have access to a different backbone such that the path to me could be different. Or does any internet signal leaving El Paso, Tx eventually flow through the same line?
Thanks in advance,
Marc
