Lets assume your folks were right, and it was playable as it streamed in. Then it goes that between then and when I tried its speed reduced as you find the overall speed has diminished.
I know that upload via DSL was higher than Rogers. At 70 (assumed) that is about 4.5x faster than 15 which is what I got. At 70, that would be playable. Be surprised if it were the router. (I am going through the router).
