Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming?


I’ve struggled for a long time with sound getting much, much worse around dinner time, and in some rare cases I don’t get depth, clarity, dynamics and imaging back until around midnight. Like many people I’ve attributed this to noise on my AC lines. But recently I’ve been wondering if maybe internet service quality is at least contributing to the issue in some manner. When I run tests it appears that speed, jitter, and latency are all higher at times when the sound is poor. That got me wondering if anyone knows whether one type of internet service is better than another for HiFi streaming? For example, is ADSL or DSL better, or does it matter? And what about speed? Particularly interested in anyone who has real world experiences from experimenting in this area…

@nyev   May I recommend any of the harmonic AC conditioners / resonators from Coherence Systems. Their brand is ADD Powr. They work quite well especially for systems with bad power. The Sorcer Apprentice will revive the life in your system. It is a good value of price vs. performance.

Also, for usb ethernet, hdmi digital signal boost the Symphony I/O is a no brainer. It restores the harmonic integrity to your system. They give you 30 days to try anything so you have nothin to lose.

You gotta try either the ADDPowr Symphony I/O or the Vivid! You'll be pleasantly surprised!
