Again, they have fast "download" connections. That's the part where the guests using the internet at the hotel get their information from the internet "into" their devices.

"Upload" speeds are where the person using the facility is sending information to the internet (guests sending email, etc). And "upload" speeds are a very small fraction of the "download" speed, cuz they simply don't need the upload capacity for regular usage.

Its the same with your connection at home. Go to google and search for Speed Test, and run it. You're Download speed will be much higher than your "Upload" speed.

Commercial streaming applications are a whole other beast.

But isn't Accustats A " commercia " Streamer? And doesn't the hotel's have a separate " system " for business and enterprise customers ? ( Much faster Internet )?

So what the problem then? Doesn't these hotels and other commercial venues have " the super fast business / enterprise connectivity?

Most do not. If they do it's usually shared with all their guests etc...

Some will charge extra for dedicated bandwidth and then there should be no trouble. Most hotels don't really think/care about solid internet for their guests, it's more of an afterthought.

For an event like this I'm sure the streamer was told by the Hotel that they have 'fast internet' - It's hard to believe they would have all these troubles if they had researched it themselves.

Also, if it's wifi for guests as well - then everybody's phone in the tournament room is competing with the stream. It adds up quick.
