I have read many many posts on the issue of buffering and its causes and cures. I would like to make some general observations. Please correct me if I am wrong.
The different server addresses used have differing amounts of bandwidth usage. As an example those servers for Kodi boxes have more subscribers than the servers for MAG boxes.
HD channels require more bandwidth than SD channels.
When a popular show/event is on and the number of viewers goes up so does the amount of buffering.
Channels that few people watch play better CSPAN has never buffered for me.
Many channels are almost NEVER watched.
Channels that get little to no traffic have the same bandwidth alloted as high volume channels.
If these statements are true buffering can be improved by eliminating low traffic channels and using the bandwidth on high volume channels. I mean big name streaming sites do not have buffering problems and the only thing they have that we don't is adequate bandwidth for the load that the server sees.
