Internet bandwidth is a fixed entity, you get what you got. Today I brought my Garmin GPS into the house for software and map updates, it's been a while...

I fired up my mainframe in the back, hooked the GPS up and started the updates. It was downloading at a good rate, said it would take a couple of hours, so I decided to jump back into a sappy Prime movie called Barefoot.

Boom, the download speed started dropping rapidly, my Roku was sucking up most of it, so I turned it off. Two hours had turned to five. It has now gradually climbed back up to 2MB/s and time remaining is at an hour.

The moral of this story is that streaming movies is a big time bandwidth sucker!

Wow, it just jumped up and there's 18 minutes left, I may be able to get back into that movie shortly!
