I just started testing out the new Joost beta. GigaOM was giving out invites like mad so I decided to see what it was like.
I can watch Aqua Teen and other Comedy Central shows, National Geographic, and my favorite on there so far… Fifth Gear. Absolutely awesome!
The service itself seems pretty cool. Video quality is decent on my somewhat oldish PC with a 20″ wide screen monitor. In windowed mode the quality is excellent.
The bandwidth used is around 90kB/s or about 700kb/s depending on how you like your numbers.
On my current cable modem I’ve seen download speed of around 600kB/s so I figure I’ve got room to have a few people in the house all watching at the same time.
I’m going to keep watching and let you know how it all works out.
If you want an invite to check it out just drop me a line.
