I'm in Little Rock, AR. I have a fiber connection running to my house but they're only giving me 15/768. This works fine for my laptop but sucks on my phone. It lags out every 2 minutes or so. Have to disconnect and reconnect.

Anyone know a fix.

Who is your provider? Ask them if they can provide you a fiber, why limit the upstream bandwidth to 768k? Makes no sense to me.

Centurytel. I guess they figure all these hicks out here don't have computers. Or at least computers that need 15-20 Mb upload speeds. That would be sick! I call every month. Actually, I'll call them now.

FiOS isnt available here in Michigan :S rumor is Verizon is holding off because they are not willing to compete with SBC and Comcast in this are yet.:cussing:

Yeah, slingbox is awesome, I have been slinging for a few years and its wonderful. I know I read some where that the latest version of slingmobile will have a setting for vga resolution, cant wait for that, it will look great on the pro.

Aside from premium channel access (though I'm not convinced this can't be worked around somehow with Orb, and what's with putting MTV on that list?) what does Slingbox offer over Orb?
