Hmmmm .... Torrents with me are fine...

View attachment 201320

Torrents aside... streaming is sucky... buffer buffer buffer then OK for a short while then buffer buffer buffer again.
This is on YouTube and TuneIn Radio.
Browsing is also a tad iffy... up and down, then fine for a while then sluggish again.

Change ISP and buffering vanishes, browsing is perfect...

I know this is a strange request, but can you set your DNS on your modem to manual - I'm assuming it is set to Auto - then configure the DNS to use 196.7.7.7 and 8.8.8.8

Can you then check if the streaming and browsing is any different.

From your side, nothing for the moment, I am going to test your account on our Test Connection tonight to see if I can try replicate the issue.

Oh Wow... thanx AfrieGenie... streaming Candlebox on TuneIn at 256kbs while kids are YouTubing buffer-free.

Awesome.
 
Anyone else experiencing authentication issues? ADSL sync went down about 30 min ago and still down.
 
My line went down about 30 mins ago and took a few minutes to come back up. streaming smooth now.
 
Anyone having issues this morning? My connection has dropped twice now and the speeds are terrible.

Log into your router, look for a setting that says DNS and change it to use those numbers (196.7.7.7 as primary and the other as secondary).
Post what router you have and maybe someone who has the same router could guide you. Instructions change from router to router.

EDIT: Connections will mess up today, load shedding kills exchanges/routes. Especially when Durbanville goes down for me, even though I am in TV.
