Default Video test
Just wanted to get a little feedback on video loading. The following is a 14MB video from the last Corvette Challenge showing the two finalists and their cars.

Please tell me how long it takes before it starts to play on your machine and what type of connection you are using.

(I just loaded Optimum boost on my machine and everything is much quicker so it is hard for me to tell what everyone is finding acceptable)

Click for test 14 mb video

PS, keep in mind if you look at it a second time in the same session it will be much fast so only the fist time please

took me 6 seconds to load, however, I'm using a 1gb connection (at a university). Great video quality.

I have tried numerous online bandwidth testers and all are very very different.

The suspicious one is the optonline.net one reports like 25,000 kb download and no other site comes anywhere near that.

Using Verizon Fios.
About 1.5 sec for the screen and about 4 to 5 more to actually play. (buffering)
