I have 7 Mb service and I think the upload rate is only in the mid 300s so I wanted to know if anyone else used slingbox with Roadrunner and how the quality of playback was before I bought one. 11/1/2008 11:34:10 AM |

I have standard roadrunner which here in cary is still the 5mbps/312kbps and it is painful to watch on a big screen. However, a restored window (320x240) as well as watching on a my cell phone which is only a 2.8" screen is pretty darn good. 11/2/2008 11:33:01 AM |
