Yea 1mbps is enough for youtube imo. but faster is always better.

 

Is the speed u talk about, MegaBYTE per second or MegaBIT?

 

yes, its stand,ard to talk about KiloBits per second when we refer to speeds, but i just wanted to make sure.

it seems that still ADSL is so expensive at my country, and i was thinking about 128kbps at most, which their download is much lower than 128kbps and they say THE MAX SPEED IS 128kpbs [!], fuck.

my friend got 256kbps and she said that she had to disable sound and wait for youtube to load it all, then play back.

shit.

btw, u can check prices here: http://www.datak-telecom.com/id/fast_internet_price_
its Farsi but u can get the idea.

EDIT:
for 64kbps, i have to pay 20$.
plus 55$ for modem and 10$ for setup.

how fuck is that?

128 is 25$ and 256 is 30$.

 

Move to a different country, those prices are ridiculous. Im in the US and I pay 25$ for 768kbps down and I can watch youtube videos at a steady speed :S

 

Try to upgrade to dual-band dialup

 

Do you live in Kazahkstan, per chance? I've heard of the terrible pricing of internet over there, and Telecom or something like that was the only business liscensed to provide internet access. I have Sprint/embarQ DSL and I can stream Youtube rather easily, videos download in a couple seconds for me. Don't know how much it costs though, I have parents

 

it doesnt worth it.
55$ + 10$ + 20$ for 10kbps?

 

That is still far too slow imo.

 

its 14 kilo bytes per second maximum and they talk about 50 for not-bad you tube.
