Broadband query

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

But long-winded but here goes.

As you can imagine broadband here isn’t great. I use COSMOTE which delivers a best speed, for me, of 5-6mgbs. Slow, but for surfing and iPTV in kinda works.

My problem is that ‘live’ iPTV telly is continually freezing making it almost impossible to watch anything. Catch up, Netflix etc is fine.

The fella who supplies my iPTV also has a broadband service but is capped at 6GB per day. I used his broadband on a trial and it was almost perfect so the problem is definitely with COSMOTE broadband.

I’ve done speed tests which shows ping, jitter and packet loss we’ll within acceptable limits.

So what’s causing the continual freezing? And, is there any solution?

Give Cosmote a call?

Deffo your broadband. Still sounds like "jitter and packet loss", or your connection not being consistent (speed wise) somehow to me!
- Services which can buffer their streams (Netflix, Youtube etc) work fine.
- Services which can't buffer (and rely on a consistent reasonable quality connection), have problems.

Does this happen for all different IPTV services? If you tried to watch a local Greek IPTV channel (instead of one streamed from abroad) presumably you still get the same issue?

Not only did I also do it, but I keep on doing it every time I open the TEF.

Same as.... it's the nature of reading, your brain predicts what is going to be there based on letters at the start and end, and the length of word.

We expect to see Broadbent being the TEF, and so do at first.

TBF I looked quickly and thought it said Broadbent Queery.

I thought this thread would be shut down PDQ!
