For 4 consecutive days all channels are freezing, to the point that they are not watchable, I really do not like to complain, but just wonder why they can be stable once as for all, since I got this unit it has been my constant complain sorry to say this, but believe me I am not the kind of complainer type.
 
214 Weather Channel down

Channel 214 The Weather Channel acts like it trying to blow something up.
It makes the light on my MAG flicker like it's going to short something out.
I've never seen a channel do this. It's been like this for a few days now.
Is anybody else having problems with 214.
 
Freezing freezing and more freezing

I'm not going to list every channel that's freezing because I have spent the last hour surfing and every channel is freezing badly or down! I read the post concerning maintenance on the server. (Quote) In order to provide a better service for all of you, we are going under maintenance. until further notice. How about an approximate date? CMON MAN! Don't bother replying that it is on my end because it isn't! If averaging 90mbps isn't fast enough then?
 
American TV Channels Channel 129 Bravo East FROZEN once again

Channel 129 Bravo East FROZEN once again

All UK Channels spot on. However all American channels gone pear shaped. It seems to me like this is more an issue with the encoding on the server that is creating the streams in the USA, rather than an ISP issue, which they always seem to be having an issue with. (seems to be a blanket response).All American channels work perfectly previously on SD MP3 encoded. Presently with MPEG 2 Audio buffer all over the place...why change something that was working perfectly from day one ?

Kodi 6 Mbps
 
my internet is 150 mbs and the same (Language dude, this is a family site). take money and run as far as you can, this is the service and if they are not happy with our comments, like they paid our donations we finished blocked.

I use Verizon DSL in the country that runs between 1.5 to 3 megs and runs smooth BUT when everyone is streaming Most Internet connections use shared bandwidth at some point in the path, for ADSL this will be at the local exchange. The degree of sharing used to be referred to as the contention ratio.

Basically, if your Servers become more active at night your speed can be affected.

It is possible for ISPs to use "traffic shaping" to throttle back certain types of traffic like IPTV but I believe this is not the norm - or at least, ISPs rarely admit it. Some ISPs have been known to restrict usage by people who they believe are making unfair and excessive use of their broadband - but I think this mostly applies to a very small percentage of people.

They can request more trunk lines but I doubt they will get it when they see what is eating up the bandwidth
 
whereas cable modems are based on nodes(how many on, & what type of usage) this is not the case for DSL. In DSL it used to be how far from the CO(central office) you were, this is not the case anymore since most DSL providers have switched to Fiber Optic. Now it's how far from the switching boxes you are, these are the small cabinets above ground on many corners or easements. This negates the old rule of how far from the CO you are. This is what I have and prefer it by far to cable modem. My speeds stay constant all day long.
 
look i run all real fast speed and i get freeze for past few day but i know they are working on it so i won't lie and say working great for last day but it will be better soon or some area are not having this i just dont know but can only tell you what i know on my box so hang in there
 
evidently some of our members don't read the announcements or keep up with all the posts in the forums. You can be assured that the provider is working non-stop to make things better and I have no reason to think they won't, based on past performance, thks....:)
