Questions from Busan
What's the busiest time for streaming in Busan?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (10:00–14:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
How much mobile data does a film use in Busan?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
Will it work on the way to Daegu?
It does. Between Busan and Daegu (about 94 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Busan?
Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.
Can I watch my films in Japan?
Yes — the server stays at home in Busan and you watch from anywhere, including Fukuoka about 210 km away. On roaming data the lower data use makes a real difference.
What does Silux Media cost in South Korea?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
