I just tried to get a box working on regular home DSL which I believe is 6mbps using Ethernet connection and forgetaboutit, had to go to cable providers performance speed at 25mbps to get results.

Well that's why the USA standard is now 25mps and up.

I have one on the way and hope this is not true. My DSL speed is 6 down and the fastest I can get in my area, from what I was reading it was working fine with 1.5 down, the demo is working fine on my kodi set up so I see no reason why it would not work with the tv online.

I know a couple of people using the AVOV with a speed of less than 7mbs, one DSL and one wireless and both work great.

DSL is a distance sensitive dedicated line service that's been around since the early 1990s when most of us were still on dialup Internet service. The good thing about it is that you don't share access to the DSLAM (DSL Access Mux) with your neighbor like you do with a cable modem solution. The bad part is that DSL performance degrades as the length of the copper line from your home to the DSLAM gets longer. The DSLAMs are typically located in the central office of your phone company. However to increase the number of potential customers to which they could sell, telcos in metropolitan areas began to remote the DSLAMs closer to concentrations of homes in neighborhood equipment bays. I'm located in a rural area so I'm stuck with .75Mbps up and 1.5Mbps down. Still works OK with my AVOV boxes, but can't wait to move into our new home on the same property which will have fiber into my basement equipment room. I'll immediately be able to convert to 5Mbps for the same price I get 1.5 today.

Apologies if this hit you as a hijack. My job for a major computer hardware maker in 1991 was to move 1000 U.S. salespeople to offices in their homes using DSL from a now defunct company called Rhythms based in Denver. It was an early adoption of the technology and painful to implement, but very exciting at the time.
