Maybe? (Destiny)

That can't be right for me. I share my 3Mbit connection with someone, and Destiny works beautifully even while Netflix and HBO GO are on. My download is around 300KB/sec at most, so if it used that much the video would not work so well…

The video streams are really only utilizing the downstream connection and Destiny's 500 Kbps only accounts for ~1/6 of your available bandwidth in that direction. According to Netflix, the remaining 2.5 Mbps should be sufficient to stream with. Granted, this doesn't account for voice…

I suppose it's possible for Destiny to adjust its bandwidth utilization on the fly to work around networking issues, too.
