The money spent to access this service should really be secondary ..................The quality of service is the issue regardless of what someone spends..........Everyone knew it was going to cost something to participate .............How the service is preforming is what I'm interested in............I do believe it has a lot less to do with an individuals internet service (speed- bandwidth)..and more to do with how the servers are set up....with so many channel sources that have public access from all over the world ...........
 
I worked at a internet exchange point and I can tell you believe it or not it's actually the other way around. especially from us and overseas (which actually is the scenario) you wont believe how many cheap isp's there are out there and us to eu is much more expensive than the other way. I know ping does not mean a hell of a lot but it does tell you how somewhat close in internet terms you are to the server but check http://iptvtalk.net/showthread.php?7159-Well-here-s-info-on-PING-and-Freezing you can also try a traceroute but there are many things playing in like I said I heard ppl complaining about buffering the first kodi addons where released. its always buffering for someone. it could also be a router issue, wifi if you use that. best troubleshooting I done is trying the service from anothers place ie. different isp, router, deliverance.


edit, speak of the devil: channel freeze lol

I don't believe it's working "perfect" for anyone. I'm extremely disappointed in the service and quality. It's obvious the servers are over utilized. Really it's got little to do with one's internet connection. Whether you have a 5Mbps or 50Mbps connection, it won't make much difference.

i disagree if it was a server issue there would be thousands in here complaining not the hand full now.. I'm running so smooth all the channels i watch are perfect..i called my brother last night he is on a different cable system we spent an hour going through every channel during prime time 9 pm east coast and we both had no issues with freezing or un watchable channels..if it's a server issue then why are we up and running so well? If i was having these issues the first place i would start is throwing a fresh install of windows and Kodi on my machine..you would be amazed what a fresh install of windows will fix

you aren't seeing any pixelation on any channels? that's my biggest issue. Most of the channels are so fuzzy, you can't even watch them.

No it wont. but can you maintain that 5Mbit connection all the way to server in "protected" countries?
it's exactly the same thing with 1channel, 2Mbit is enough and yet I been listening to ppl complain about buffering since the beginning, like why is it buffering for me I have 150Mbit! because those 150Mbit is to your isp and any machine they have on their net, when you venture further out your isp has to do deals with internet exchange points and from there to other isps so you can't count on that, again especially not overseas. And that's when at the same time my neighbor could run the exact same movie from exact same source on 5Mbit only he was in a different country.

exactly, if it was was a server issue everybody would have trouble and there would be a major outcry.. not the handful we see here. it does not mean I do not understand the frustration as some think.

with 1channel ppl blamed the addon, here server is blamed. seen it 1000 times..

edit: not mixing with ppl's expectation, promises, and stuff, never was a part of that, sounds sad :/ though I have not found anything yet.
edit edit: i'm also not disagreeing on some channels are low quality some occasional missing, but all in all this has been good deal for me so far, and if they continue as they have done it can only get better.

I don't get pixelation either. If a channel works, its mostly pretty good quality. I don't need HD. For me its the buffering or freezing on most of the channels. TBS earlier today I got a lot of freezing. Then from 5-8pm EST I got it smooth. A couple quick buffers in that time, which is all good for me. Its started freezing again though for me. If I switch to my other premium private service, I am smooth 98% of the time on all channels. My connection is 50/10.

It's hard to say the servers as you are talking about a few things here. Without knowing their setup. Are they using servers across the globe? quality CDN network? And then lastly, the things I think which is their biggest fault, is the use of sources that are free out there everywhere. And those sources/servers also are a big factor depending on number of free users on many services using it. On a real network server with big pipe, or streamed out of their home via their ISP pipe etc. That is why I hope in time NFSP gets all their channels sourced for private use only. Then they control the logistics and bandwidth issues. If they need to add more servers, use a top tier CDN etc, they can do it.
