title: RTMP Stream Bitrate alternatives
body: <p>Which bit rates would you assign as <strong>normal</strong> and <strong>high</strong>?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Quick Example:</strong> </p>
  
  <p>For the current project. On one hand I require a high quality stream (for full-screen). And of course, on the other it also has to be fast. The problem to solve is to balance it up to satisfy the most...</p>
  
  <p>For the "high" option I would prioritize modern broadband with the around 2.5-3Mbits, to be able to deliver an almost perfect stream for the lucky ones having a > 4Mbits broadband connection (e.g. very common in Europe) without abusing the CDNs bandwidth.</p>
  
  <p>For the "normal" option I would prioritize the slower broadband connections with something close to 1.2Mbits stream. If I go below 1Mbits the quality is just too poor and I'd rather use a progressive stream to make sure everybody is watching the video with a correct quality. </p>
  
  <p><strong>So that's my plan for this particular case ... Any clever way to balance it up on an other way ? Any interesting (from your POV) user case ? An other perspective / way of thinking ? Any points to consider ? Opinions in general ? etc.</strong></p>
