  1. So, like Pgoodwin1 said, check Brazil speed test stats and look at the ISP Rank tab. So let's look at Virtua (ranked #4 in Brazil) -- if you click on the member rank tab you'll see the fastest users. Now, Oi Velox (ranked #8 in Brazil) (Less popular so there's less information on them) Looking into Jabulba you'll see he's in Rio De Janerio -- great connection. I guess it depends on your budget and what the price of their packages are. I'd go with Virtua... Oi Velox has proven to be extremely fast in the right area but Virtua seems more consistent. Yeah, we don't know what packages people have but if you look closely at the results you can get an idea. Why not help out others who have the same question, try both ISPs and write about it here. I guarentee that if you use TestMy.net as your benchmark it will be immediately apparent which is faster. TMN keeps test variables to a minimum which provides a level standard playing field. If you keep the rest of your equipment the same then the only real variable between the results is your provider. You can directly compare them and trash the slower one. Make sure to use the multithread and mirror options when doing comparisons like this to get a nice broad spectrum of circumstances. Take advantage of any money back guarantees!! (realize that often install fees are NOT refunded, check with your provider and try self install options if available to save time and money) Make sure when you call to cancel you tell the loser the real reason why you've decided to go with the other guys. It may help them improve their quality. I hope this helps.

  2. Yes they do, they are bound by a small handful of 'companies' or services that provide streaming media. These companies have been and continue to draw in substantial benefits from these services. Something I don't see just going away soon , simply because developers are much more interested in revenue themselves, utilizing what is already available to stand upon when building their idea. This is a level of development that is on another playing field than streaming media. Which is far less formidable when deciding to delve into one of the largest markets in social media revenue. Why be concerned about these little details, when all that needs done is to find an opinionated / knowledgable demographic, in any given niche to draw in viewers slash clickers, then utilize one of the several already widely used plugins for video. Just add a small script and you have instant website. This to me is a major failure of ingenuity let alone individually prospecting ones own creativity. I mean look around , you can go from one site to the next, which is more or less the same thing , different layout different coloring and a few features that vary slightly. Not much new. We are bound and stuck in the mud by our own complacency.

  3. Used adobe flash uninstall , reinstalled and were good to go. I can't truly blame this one one 'flash' itself. Who knows what could have happened during the initial install. None the less, it's over, and been over for quite some time. HTML5 anyone ? ByeBye flash - rest in peace, you served your purpose.

  4. I've always hated Flash me too. And the same goes for Java. Both are a security risk to any system.
