IPTV66 Help here!
OK guys, I proved it's the ISP.. AT&T specifically.
I've run behind a VPN for years after finding a data center IP address that NFPS would accept. About six weeks or so ago they took that VPN server offline for maintenance, shifting traffic to another and it would no longer work. Running naked was scary but picture quality was fine for a week or two and then the freezing/buffering began. It was only later that I connected the two occurrences.
This last week I found another data center acceptable to NFPS and *bingo* the freezing disappeared. Switching off the VPN brought the freezing right back, turning it back on cleared up the problem again. Yes the routes are different but they share the downlink from the backbone to AT&T's data center and then on to me. It's only in that data center that they can monkey with the data stream.
Remember that during the runup to the end of Net Neutrality both AT&T and Comcast talked openly about throttling streaming from content providers other than their own and I strongly suspect that they have started doing it already. I can think of no other explanation other than enemy action.
I owe a bit of an apology to NFPS (and by reflection to the moderators who said that the server streams were fine.) The few channels that are freeze-fee without the VPN (Arirang, C-Span, Frence24, The Weather Channel, and a few others) apparently come from a different server and are not targeted by AT&T. That made it confusing since those streams come down the same pipe as all the other channels.
I suspect that the throttling will spread to all the major carriers rather quickly. This means that unless NFPS relaxes their policy forbidding VPN's they will lose a large number of customers. All of the other IPTV services that I have checked allow VPN's and most recommend the use of one.

I use other servers and when it freezes I switch to vpn myself and no freezing
it's only a matter of time where vpn will need to be used with most servers/users
I only have 6 meg service.... No problems. That said, my area has all new lines including my home hookup. They also installed new equipment at the local switching station. Before they did that I had plenty of problems. The speed is not the issue. The quality of the connection and the age of the equipment the ISP uses is usually the problem. If it was speed then only having 6 meg down I would be nonfunctional.
since we are getting to the conclusion that ATT May be the problem with the freezing..and we need to send the info to craze 2.0.
what about the people who has your service thru a reseller?
I have ATT uverse and iptv66 can I still send my info to you?
by the way I can't send PM to crazy 2.0.
can I send it to somebody else?

Could be because he's trying to PM Crazy 2.0. Rather than jump down a logistics rabbit hole, I decided to provide a conduit instead, although I haven't received any information yet.
well guys I have heard back from administration and answer was that there is not anything wrong at server end and none of the admins are seeing any freezing as is same with me and others.
I have seen that the freezing stops when one uses a VPN , but in using a VPN one takes a chance that their code will get banned at the server.
But anyway, as suspected all along that this is in fact ISP related.
This can argued all day long but that will not change the fact.
Check out what has been and is happening with the world wide web these days and you may see a connection
VODs and LiveTV are delivered differently and is why some reports say VODs are working great but not LiveTV
Now what the administration has asked me is to get the ISPs services that you guys are using that are having these freezing issues.
Send me a PM with the ISP and the iptv service with port included.
Thnx guys.
I have to admit this, at least this last buffering/freezing crisis is ISP related for sure, I could tested it, carried the tv box to another different ISP source( even slower than mine), no freezing, provider has reason this time, they are fine.
Welllll.. now we are getting into a dark gray area. NFPS/IKS66 specifically forbids the use of a VPN so we are skirting the rules. If they detect any form of "shared service" you will be able to log on (authenticate) and the channels will load but none will play. We have to find a VPN service and server that does not so identify to be able to use it.
If the current problem with AT&T-based carriers is, in fact, "throttling" NFPS will have no choice but to allow VPN use or lose a lot of customers. They are still investigating the situation so we'll have to wait.
Hi i thought i would let u know my internet provider is lightspeed they provide both cable internet which is shaw and phone internet which is through telus i have used both i am now using cable they had a deal 31 dollars a month for 30 down and five up ive had freezing with both providers on both boxes i have mag 254 and dreamlink t1 i did have freezing last night i unplugged and did iptv reset is working at present.
well hate to say that yes I do have A te te, and the service before this was awesome n till a month after I switched to this ISP, so if we see this is the problem what can we do other than switch providers again? I already Pm crazed2.0 with the info
