Steve, you are saying that you have a 1.9 M upload speed?
Yes. It's cable.
I would lower your video to 200-300 max with a .7 though. IMO you
need plenty of headroom there. Video takes a backseat and having the show
skipping/lagging ruins it!
Agreed.
That said sometimes it is Ustreams
fault but mostly it's not :)
Again you are correct, Jeff. It may have been more often
Ustream's fault a couple of years ago, but not so much
now...
Cheers
Steve

Well Jeff, I wasn't wrong about my connection,
but I WAS wrong about everything else. I just tested my connection and got
1.9 mbps, which is about what I expected. Then I checked my Flash Media
Encoder settings - I have it at 500 kbps for video and 192 stereo for audio,
so I should be able to broadcast that with Andy's .7 mbps
connection.
I suppose that meas the occasional problems I
had in the past were not due, as I thought, to lack of upload speed. It
seems I was blaming my ISP, when I should have been blaming either Ustream,
or my own incompetance.
Thanks for putting me right, Jeff.
And Andy, ignore all I said before and get
Ustreaming!

Andy, Steve, we must be thinking in different units here. I
would give a lot for a 1.6 mbps! That's blazing upstream speed!
I
broadcast often with a 10 mbps down and a .860 mbps upstream connection.
The upstream is the important one here.
For broadcast I use the
Flash Media Encoder for good control over quality. Video is 300 kbps,
audio is 192 kbps stereo. So total upload used is under .500 mbps which
leaves me some headroom to bring in a Ninjam session if I want (using a
public server) which might add another 100 kpbs up so still
safe.
So have we got our megs and kilos mixed up or what here? :).
.7 mbps is 700 kbps, plenty o' speed for the upside of your connection. I
am surprised that your down is the same, usually it's much faster down
than up.
my .02 units worth,

Andy, I'm afraid .7 mbps upload speed is a bit slow
for Ustream. You really nead at least around 1.6 upload, ideally a bit
faster. Download speed is less important.
So, I'm sorry to say,
while you're at the British Forum for Ethnomusicology, it looks like
Ustream will be difficult for you.
