100Mbit CAT5, it really depends on the bit rate of the media. I can get<br>away with playing HD stuff on the XBOX 360 from the PC on 100Mbit<br>without any problem, I can also play HD stuff stored on my server on the<br>
PC downstairs using 100Mbit (in fact the whole house is currently on<br>100Mbit ethernet).<br><br>Not sure about Bluray though, I believe it's about 30Mbit/sec. The HD<br>stuff I play is usually TV shows that have been on in the US, or BBC HD<br>
stuff which I've downloaded and I believe the bit rate of that stuff is<br>under 10 Meg.<br><br>If you wanted to play HD stuff you'd need something capable of playing<br>it, such as a PC, PS3/XBOX360 (with the video possibly transcoded on the<br>
fly to a format supported by the console) or maybe something like a<br>Popcorn Hour which is a small low power Linux based media player.<br><br>Out of interest, what package are you getting?<br><br>I believe the routers on the 50 Meg package support gigabit ethernet.<br>
The Netgear router I have though on 20 Meg (which I believe also is<br>supplied on 10 Meg connections) is only 100Mbit.<br>
