The moment 2 Mbps won't budge.

Oh, really. (sarcasm)

Lately, I find myself not satisfied a bit with my internet connection, even though it works fine most of the time. Usually I enjoy my internet speed, which is in 2 Mbps, and I'm glad that I can download several files (mostly YouTube videos for offline storage) with a breeze, and I can watch it just fine despite of a bit of buffering.

Usually buffering is just fine when I'm watching the videos there, but if it comes to live streaming, it's a different story, since that means I can miss some part of the stream when I don't want to. If the stream has the option to have lower quality stream, it's still a bit acceptable because it will play the live stream smoothly, even though at expense of quality, but if it doesn't have one, I don't know what to do, which means I should not load any other sites at all when watching the stream. That obviously becomes a big bother for me.

And I started to wonder, if only I could afford to get faster speed than 2 Mbps, since back then when my parents and I buy one, it becomes very expensive after several months of using it that it affects our economy factor. Because of that, I did even consider to downgrade to 1 Mbps, but then I won't enjoy the internet as much as before.

However, after checking for new info, it seems that all of the misery will end soon. I have discussed with my parents when I checked that my internet provider just released the new packet with fiber-based connection, which means it's faster, cheaper and better, so I might probably go with 5 Mbps, and since it's cheaper, it will lessen the burden of our wallet :)

So, I might be going with better internet speed starting next month, and I hope I can watch streams with ease this time.

Ugh slow internet is always a pain, especially when you're live streaming. Best of luck sorting out a faster connection.
