Questions from Daegu
Does it help on crowded city networks in Daegu?
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.
Will it work on the way to Busan?
Yes — the 94 km trip to Busan is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
How much mobile data does a film use in Daegu?
Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.
Can I watch my own films in Daegu?
Yes — put the server on a PC, Mac, NAS or Raspberry Pi at home, add your folders, and your films play on any screen in Daegu.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Daegu?
Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.
Can I watch my films in Japan?
Anywhere, Japan included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
