Just tried it now, also on Chrome. Stream starts but quality is really bad. Average throughput on the router is showing as 170KB/s. Hulu is doing the same so it's not Netflix related. Maybe streaming being shaped.

Reason I asked about the device, have not been able to get any of my Android devices to play Netflix at all.

I am experiencing very slow speeds on my connection. Netflix takes a very long time to load and sometimes doesnt load at all.

Here is my speedtest

Download speed is fine so I have no idea what could be causing it.

Can it be Hola unblocker?

Is Unotelly not an option for you? It's straight forward and I have had no issues with it since I signed up. Load the DNS's once and all has been sorted since. Been about 3 - 4 month snow.
 
Wow. Finished reading through this entire thread and have a fair headache now, but also a very strong desire to have a Bitco connection! I sent through all my paperwork on Monday, awaiting LOS check.

@BitCo what I wanted to know is if there is an option to install the pole in the middle of the roof? So remove a tile and fix it to the beams & seal up around the pole. Looks like LOS from the sides of my house are both blocked by neighbours trees to the tower near Eagle Canyon / Lazer Park but there is a nice space between them from the middle of the roof.

*holding thumbs*

P.S. Maybe you should consider offering Tree Felling along with installation at an additional charge... :)

Now there is a gap in the market. Sub-contract for Bitco as a tree feller :D

Put secret GPS trackers on their installation vehicles and just follow them around all day... hehehe

LOL, if the installation guys left and no install took place you ring the door bell. "Good afternoon sir/madam. I'm from <insert company name> we're just in the area wanting to know if people need tree felling. "WTF have you been yesterday? Come in, bring that 10 meter ladder too."

Torrents have been shaped during the day, little earlier in the thread Bitco have given us that info.

Thank you. A forum thread shouldn't be the only form of communication though. Or I missed an email somewhere

Hi Gezza,

Yep Torrent traffic is shaped heavily during the day but from 6pm - 6am you will receive your full allocated line speed.

All other non abusive protocols are open during the day so online Gaming, Streaming and general web browsing will be totally unaffected.

Please let us know if any other services are slow so we can look at moving them into the priority queue during business hours.

I have done a fair amount of testing and the bandwidth is very optimized and super fast 24/7 only Torrents are slow during business hours.

I fully support this. Would be highly pissed off if my streaming takes strain because someone is raping the line torrenting.
