Hi, is the speed of these plugs fast enough to stream HD movies?

Yes, easily...I have my router upstairs and smartv downstairs and stream all my movies this way. No problems!

Yes, you bet. I agree with the two previous answers. I have them at my house, an elderly lady friends house and the Ocean Shores Interpretive Center. I have had mine for more then a year with no problems.

Yep! Do it all the time, via Roku 2, Roku 3, and Apple TV. Don't hesitate. Amazing gadget! Just don't plug it into a surge protector

I use it to do backups at work. it has Gigabit port and runs fairly fast when running backup. but not sure about 1080p videos.

I watch all my movies from my server to the Asus HD, no problem in buffering. After a good amount of research. I bought this and very satisfied with performance.

Video streaming seems to be great, even with HD. That's primarily what we use it form, and no complaints at all for that.

I'm not exactly sure. I used them for HDTV Satellite, but I do not have Internet service via Satellite.

I have not had any problems with speed use laptop / I-pad while streaming movies thru roku box with no problems. I would make sure your Internet provider speed is acceptable.

Ya it works just fine for streaming, ive streamed lots of movies on it. If anything is slow its going to be because of your internet speeds not the computer.

I honestly don't know about the speed comparisons you're citing, or the HD connections. The person for whom I bought this machine doesn't care about either one! I'd guess "No" on the HD, but I wouldn't want my life to depend on the answer. Sorry!

It is not fast, but I still get 50 or 100 Mbps connections with it and it always just works without a fuss! I'd say it is quite useable unless you are streaming hd media without multicast or are just in a hurry to download large files :).

Yes BUT: The user then will not have 10 ports, there will be 1 upstream port on one device, plus 2 ports occupied for the "together" part. You will then have only 7 available downstream ports. Also, the bandwidth will be shared; Thus, only offering &lt;120Kb/S per port (~13MB/S) if they are all loaded simultaneously. OK for sharing DSL, occasional files, or printing, but too slow for simultaneous use while streaming HDTV (IF the HDTV source or destination is upstream from the top hub. Across the hub, HDTV streaming works great, and still leaves a full 1000Mb/S bandwidth available upstream for my other 2 connected devices).

Should work. But I'm not to thrilled with my pair. Not fast enough for net flix via U Verse.

THE Answer is: YES.! - But you have to get the right one. I have been testing this out for a while now, and buying one stick after another to get the promised 200-300/mbps to take movies back and forth. I found that most USB 2.0 sticks crank between 11-28/mbps even in a 3.0 port. Most cheap USB 3.0 Sticks transfer between 30/mbps and 40/mbps, like this piece of crapple depicted here. You really get what you pay for. the more you pay for quality, the better they perform. I bought a Sandisk 3.0 USB stick, and really got blazingly fast 200/mbps speeds off my port. Best is, if you google a report on fast USB sticks, and only "stick" with the brand names. It pays not to be frugal here.

To stream netflix, 10/100 Mbps is fast enough because the traffic from your ISP (such as Xfinity/Comcast or AT&T; Uverse) will only go as high as 20-25Mbps for down stream and up stream is much much less.The Gigabit speed is only needed between PC to PC on your local network. For example streaming or transferring a file from one PC to the other or to the TV.For example, I have the cable/dsl modem connected to my wireless router. Then the router is connected to the giga switch, with other PCs connected to the giga switch as well. That way, all my PC will be on the giga and can transfer or stream at speeds higher than 100 Mbps.

Thanks arrowhead, That's what I thought-from the few posts I could find -I already ordered a TRENDnet 10/100, 8 port switch, as I now need more ports to connect a new BD player by wire for updating its firmware. The 25 Mbps when streaming was mentioned in a few reviews of the switch. Thanks for confirming.

I would by another brand, mine keep disconnecting and when streaming video through them they continually cut out. I had another brand before, that were a little slower, but they never had any issues. The bandwidth on them was just not fast enough. I would return these if I could.

If Im not mistaken, the data link is just a pass-thru, so if you plug in GigE, then it should work at full speed. The big part of these are the 48VDC that it sends up the wire, and then you can choose via a switch on the "upper end" what you want your Vout to be. Awesome units, just dont plug the wall wart into the "upper" unit..... (also dont ask me how I know, and why I bought this one as a replacement.... lol) They SHOULD have made them have different barrel sizes for the power inject and take-off... Other than that (dont hook them up at o-dark-thirty out in the field when you cant read the small labeling), they work great, and seem to transfer enough power to run IP cams and such over 50+feet of CAT5e.
