1204852 2011-05-25 15:08:00 A Friend has a dsl conection speed capped at 1mbit down and the upload is at 512kbit They are mostly uploading/streaming video. At which point does the low download speed cause issues if the upload is flooded? as the 2nd pc conected has next to no bandwith left.

What is the ratio? previously they had 1.5mbit down and their upload was around 290kbit and it wasnt an issue with the 2nd pc.

1204854 2011-05-26 20:18:00 Thanks but I was hoping that someone could give a technical explanation. About how much download traffic is created by the upload traffic.

Actually, I did try loading Cfosspeed onto both machines. Don't know if that made much difference.

1204855 2011-05-26 20:49:00 It'd be better to do QoS at the router level.

I'm no guru when it comes to working out overheads like that, but I'm going to take a stab in the dark and suggest around 5%?
