Thanks for the info. Computer I am using is at my home, and I am remoting to work computer over the internet using Citrix Receiver.azazel1024 said:Where is the computer?
Are you remoting in to a home computer over the internet? Or a work computer from home, over the internet.
Where you are remoting from, upload is minimal. 100-200kbps is overkill. Where you are, you need halfway decent download. Depending on what you are doing, figure a MINIMUM of 3-5Mbps for absolutely maximum performance. IE nothing is degraded because of the connection [including animations, low res video, etc. Note, RDP cannot handle high res video, no matter your connection].
Latency is much more important, but if you figure you have at least a 5/256 connection, then you have a fast enough connection to not be degraded ever. Realistically, for a decent user experience, you are looking at maybe a 2/128 and you'll be just fine.Click to expand...
Sounds like either 35/35 or 105/10 would provide the absolute max performance in terms of bandwidth, many times over, and that beyond that my latency and the quality of the internet connection that I am remoting to are the controlling factors for how snappy things will be.
Thanks again for the responses.
Of course if possible and you are lucky enough to multiple provider options and can try them out.JackMDS said:There is a lot of "Lag" in many Internet Server tha users have No control on.
If there is Lag caused by the Internet per-se it is a good idea [if possible] to do a Trace between the locations using few providers and choose the one that has the cleanest Route.Click to expand...
I am pretty lucky that I have less than 20ms lag between my home location and work so the few times I have telecommuted [sadly only the few] it has been pretty smooth. I will say I notice a slight difference between remoting to work from home and remoting to my server. One has
