![]() Speedtest (ookla) also showed that the speeds were good (as long as I didnt use Newbury server - for some reason that shows half the speed?). So apart from adding some manual DNS settings to my router (primary 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4 or it could have been 8884), all the other advice I was given I was already doing. They checked my line and said there was no faults (they copied and pasted the results of the test in the chat) and I am syncing at 55MBps and they guarantee 40Mbps. As soon as I broadcast my 5Ghz SSID on 'Auto' channel it worked fine so I changed it back to manual and selected a 'quiet' channel and rehid my SSID like it was before and that was that. I did this (chose several 2.4Ghz channels and no improvement) but lost my 5GHz connection as I am not broadcasting my SSIDs. I contacted the live chat guys about this a couple of days ago and told me to split my wifi, which I already have been doing for about the last 12 months, and asked me to put some google DNS addresses into my router which I have done and then they told me to manually choose a 2.4Ghz channel and set my 5GHz to Auto. I have borrowed a super long CAT5 cable to test a direct link to my PC from the router and will try that later on today when I get home. Ive tried on my phone, on my laptop and on my PC (which is unfortunately connected to the router via a Powerline adapter as I have no phone sockets in my lounge) and its the same on all 3 devices. Im paying £40 a year for this tv service and at the moment its unusable. Up until around a month or two ago, it was flawless. Its constantly buffering every 5 seconds but it works fine when I take it to a friends house. ![]() Just wondering if anyone else might be having problems with live tv streaming. Yeah getting the same - so how do we fix this, when I hop onto the vpn it appears to be going via a differnt route, I kinda see what's happening now.Ģ 106 ms 103 ms 82 ms 1.76.44. ģ 14 ms 14 ms 14 ms Ĥ 14 ms 15 ms 14 ms ĥ 14 ms 14 ms 14 ms Ħ 15 ms 14 ms 14 ms So it doesn't appear to be throttling, but it does appear to be VERY poor (and totally unacceptable) routing. *I'm just trying to give an explaination of what appears to be happening. If you try that same tracert during peak times the numbe of hops may well exceed 30! The interesting things in the above are that second to last hop appears to be Asia Pacific, and the last hop appears to be in SanFrancisco Which is correct even if the routing is far from the shortest possible! This only seems to happen at peak times! So it's hard show you at the moment because it's all kind of working okay it being 6:45am. Next time it happens if you open up a command prompt and enter "tracert " you'll probably find that it takes a load of hops for your computer to reach, many of those intermediate hops within the vodafone (ex) Cable & Wireless network.
