How do i know or how can i check if my ISP blocking me from stream. Can they do its - I am on Octotel and mt ISP is Home-Connect. For the last 2 weeks im trying to stream some web sites but without success. Any advise ??
 
Which router are you using? Sounds more like an MTU thing.
 
@PBCool i am not sure but will look into that. Thx. I am not a tech savvy my apologize for "stupid" questions but your help will be appreciate. MTU ?:X3: And you say it could be the router which was included in the package. If indeed the router, anything i can do besides buying a new one?
 
Well which router is it? Make and Model?

Download a free VPN like opera browser (web browser) and see if you can stream via it, if you can stream using a VPN, your ISP is blocking you. If you can't stream via VPN you have an issue you need to figure out.

You can use ping with the "-f flag (Set Don't Fragment flag in packet)" to determine the correct MTU.
See: How to find the proper MTU size for my network?

AFAIK, these MTU things auto-magically work themselves out.
