You will need DSL 6mb download speed or better to use the Gbox for streaming video.
Brother says it works for him with 3mb, but the faster the better.
I never stream video from Amazon or Netflix...... You mean you tube? I have streamed it at 2.86 mbps DSL. You have to wait for the video to load. A minor inconvenience you just do something else on internet and come back when it is loaded
Of course youtube streams very smoothly at 25mbps Comacst internet. Google maps load smoothly. At 3mbps google maps loads slowly ....that is more of a bother than youtube streaming
