I'm currently with BT on fibre optic which is costing a fortune as we are tightening our belts I'm considering dropping to a 17 mb deal they so. Sky is also being got rid of. With 17 mb will that be fast enough for this little box to operate ok no buffering etc.

Hi, I've got Sky and get on average 12 mb and it works fine. I get 3d, 1080 with 5.1 with no problem.
Don't forget most things are heavily compressed so 1080 is good but not as good as 1080p on blu ray.
Can't complain as so much to see and watch.
Hope this helps .

Cheers pal. Need to save some money so dropping the broadband as long as it works I'm happy. Thanks for advice.
17Mbit is absolutely fine, definitely. See https://droidbox.co.uk/blog/faq-2/w...-need-more-than-a-25mbit-internet-connection/ for some testing I carried out on bandwidth used viewing a 1080p stream from a fast host.
