For all the hype around Joost, I think it is not even close to a 1.0 release.

The interface is nice, it has a dashboard type capability to chat with other users while watching the same show, which is kinda like having someone sit next to you while you watch it. But, the video playback sucks.

My speedtest resultsI’m *really* disappointed. It pauses/skipps every 5 seconds, even though data is coming in at around 150kilobytes/sec! And even if I just pause it, and wait 5 minutes for it to stream ahead a little, the moment I start playing it starts skipping/pausing on its own!

I’ve been to the forums with the error, which is error #121, and they said its because of bandwidth issues on my end. (as you can see from the speetest results).

I can’t wait until they solve the issue… until then, well, I’m just going to be waiting for the next version.

I'm not finished with the design of my blog quite yet, please hold on while I fix the comments, archives, and search templates.
