11mb Plusnet good enough for streaming?

Can anyone comment on how good netflix/4od/iplayer are with plusnet standard broadband. A speed check in my area estimates a 11mb connection speed. Will this be suitable enough for a house of two?

Cheers

    I have no problems streaming and browsing at the same time on a 6mb connection.

    Same here..
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    On, really, that's just showing off.

    EE won't let you have EETV if you have less than 4Mbps, so that's minimum you are well above.

    I moved from talktalk to plusnet standard broadband- speeds are lower than estimated and streaming can be a bit hit and miss. All the rest of the system is the same as previously, so shouldn't be a factor.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Been with PlusNet nearly a year on standard BB, can't fault it. Streams Netflix Iplayer, etc... without any Issues.
