Even with a high-resolution setup, quality may be compromised because of your Internet connection speed. We recommend a minimum connection speed of 1.5 Mbps. For the best quality, a connection speed of 4.0 Mbps is required. Sometimes your broadband speed varies based on your ISP’s network conditions. Contact your ISP if you have problems maintaining a fast connection that is reliable, or if you want to increase your connection speed.
