Who do you have for internet? I have AT&T 6.0 Fast DSL, & I believe that AT&T has been slowing speeds down at times during the evening. I have my Roku 3 & my Fire TV Stick both set at 720p resolution & stereo audio output, which helps with the picture, but the resolution still degraded to barely watchable when I was watching Game of Thrones last night. It very well could be a problem with the ISP.I'm being told different things. I have 6mbps down and it has been fine up until now. Now, I call Sling TV and they say 12 minimum. I'm all confused. My 6 ran fine until a week ago and then pixelation started. I've adjusted my connection speed within Sling. Help!!

The quality of streaming video is directly impacted by Internet speeds. When streaming content over the Internet, your connection speed is constantly changing based on the number of connected devices, as well as, the rate of communication from your Internet service provider.
Check out our list below to see what we recommend for a constant speed by device:
- Constant speed of 3.0 Megabits per second or more - Streaming non-HD video content on portable devices such as, tablets and phones.
- Constant speed of 5.0 Megabits per second or more - Single stream of video content on a TV, PC, or Mac.
- Constant speed of 25 Megabits per second or more - Recommended for households who maintain Internet use on multiple devices.

It could very well be my Windstream ISPhttp://help.sling.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/What-internet-speed-is-necessary-to-stream-Sling-TV
5mbps should do fine, assuming you do not have heavy usage elsewhere.
Per the sling website
There's a fairly big divide between "up to" 6 and "at least" 5. Up to often means that no more than 50-60% of the advertised speed can be expected on a continuous basis. My rule of thumb is that if you need 5, you have to spring for 10 or better. Your new speed should serve you much better.I use Windstream 6mbps down
I took the 25mbps down, thru Comcast, no data cap with limited basic and HBO and have had no problems since. Windstream couldn't run the higher speed to my house after all so I dropped them. I'm a happy camper!!There's a fairly big divide between "up to" 6 and "at least" 5. Up to often means that no more than 50-60% of the advertised speed can be expected on a continuous basis.

How is it? Better?I took the 25mbps down, thru Comcast, no data cap with limited basic and HBO and have had no problems since. Windstream couldn't run the higher speed to my house after all so I dropped them. I'm a happy camper!!
Much, much better. I had it on unlimited bandwidth and TBS pixelated some. Turned it to high quality 2.8 and no pixelation. Windstream couldn't get above 1.0 Mbps where Comcast stays consistent at 2.6 on high stream. The quality and Windstream speed also used to consistently drop to.5. Very impressed!! Every once in a blue moon the speed might fluctuate but not enough to really notice more than a few seconds. By the way, I have it hardwired to eithernet cable.How is it? Better?
