DTV Stream w/ AT&T Internet 50
Does anyone use AT&T Internet 50 with DTV Stream? I was curious if it could handle the streaming, with multiple TV’s. We have U-Verse TV currently and can stream other services while also watching U-Verse just fine, I wasn’t sure if DTV would require more bandwidth since it’s going through the internet connection directly.

That sounds like a good speed. In the future you may benefit by wiring each streaming device via Ethernet. If not, you should be able to simultaneously stream with at least three devices without a problem.

You need at least 8mb/sec for each device. So multiply 8x the number of devices you have and that's the minimum download speed you need.

Depending on where the TV is, it should be able to handle DIRECTV STREAM fine. Do you already have streaming devices? After running a speed test, what is the upload and download speed?

Yes I currently have a Roku and Amazon Fire Stick, and have no issues using other streaming services. I thought about getting a couple of their boxes just for the fact of it being like traditional cable for my parents sake. 44.1 download, 4.03 upload based on my cell being connected to WiFi.

Just sign up for the free trial and see how it works. I have Uverse 100/20. Only issue I have is judder in the first few seconds of a channel change. Tried using my account with a relative who has 500 fiber and same thing happens.

Thanks. That’s what I was planning to do. They ran fiber lines in my neighborhood, a couple months ago, but still not showing active to upgrade yet on my AT&T app. Do you still get unlimited internet (no data cap) with DTV Stream, like they offer if you have U-Verse TV?

They told me that I will. That said, I haven’t received my first internet bill since switching.
