The 300k stream has much better quality than the 80k stream, because it uses 300 Kilobits worth of data every second, as opposed to 80Kilobits/second for the 80k stream.

The downside to having that much more data available for sound and video is that it takes a better connection to sustain the higher rate of data transfer, so someone on a 56k line won't be able to use the 300k option.

hope that answered your question,

Is there a difference in quality of the stream between the 80k and 300k stream ???

Or does the 300k stream only faster, with the same quality ???

Anybody tried the 300k stream ( Real gold pass members and Tiscali subscribers ) ???
