JLT1 vs FCFC Thursday 28th Feb Ikon Park 6.45. Go Bombers!

Francis on Cripps would be good to watch

Sounds like Kayo is more elite than Cripps.

Vegemite on Cripps goes ok.

I think based on training/efc reports these guys may be missing from JLT 1 through injury
Hooker (hammy), Gleeson (ankle), Dea (knee)

and maybe Stringer (groin) and Fantasia (corky) but still a pretty good chance of playing as only 2 practice games they will probably just get reduced workload/minutes of match time.

Stringer, Langford and Laverde to share duties on Cripps

Ok - look, even ADSL will give you ok results, providing you don’t have other stuff pulling on the bandwidth - your SO on the phone, DropBox syncing, etc. 720 requires bugger all. If you’re intending to use your phone - you won’t be able to hook up via Chromecast, as you’d need to be on your home network - which is wifi - which means…etc. So you’d need to get it to your screen another way.

So will it be useable on my crap 8mbs ADSL ?

Yep. I max out there also.

Should be OK. But I guess that what the free trial is for: figure out if it works.

Not sure how far along Gleeson is to get any JLT time, might be working towards VFL practice matches.

Hooker, Raz & Stringer seemingly back for JLT2

Thanks Decks, I’ll ask the missus to stop working as well. She hogs some bandwidth

Some people just don’t understand our religion.

The big test will be the season proper though. Watchafl via a VPN has been pretty unreliable over the last few years. Also their content never seemed to be the full 25fps resulting in jittery playback.

Absolutely. Works fine on my NBN 1.2 Mbps.

Hang on,… Is that 8 mega bits, or 8 mega bytes? :thinking:

I think it’s bits? No must be bytes? Surely you connection is not that slow?

Actually just realised it shouldn’t matter either way. Mine would be 12 m bits, a average 10 or so (typ eve speed) and it uses about a third to a half of that. :+1:

Btw my area is now nbn rfs but waiting for them to install a new lead in which seems to be in the too hard basket.

The VPN takes up a lot of band width. Best to stop hiding to provide a good stream. :+1:t4:

No choice with watchafl.

Just out of curiosity, how much is Kayo?

Maybe not reading this correctly but can you honestly get a good stream on Kayo with 1.2mbps? Or is it 8mbps?
Bytes / bites… ah fark carlton

Sometimes streaming tech can be so good that they can operate ok on low bandwidth - Netflix vs SBSon demand for example. SBS has great context but very average tech & results in shocking buffering - whilst Netflix doesn’t alter all on exactly same bandwidth / I’ve tested it using a speed checker
