Videos keeps buffering even with Internet Speed of 5mbps

Hi team,

Off lately we aren't able to stream the treehouse videos even at high speed internet of 5 mbps (download and upload).

I am from Mumbai, India. The video just plays for 5-7 secs and later keeps buffering for another 10-15 secs.

Can you let us know how much of internet connection speed is recommended to stream treehouse.

Regards, Abhishek Shah

Your streaming issue is most likely unrelated to download speed and instead related to something else. It could be a number of things such as a video card driver update.

I had to move recently and I went from a 100 mbps download down to less than 5 mbps in my new location. Funnily enough, I don't see much difference. Slightly slower to load, but nothing significant. The Workspaces take noticeably longer to load on slower connection.
