When using services like HDMania (Kodi in general) you can’t guarantee anything.

Watching sky sports etc are you using an international proxy?
 
milomak said:
not directly.

as in the service i was using may have been. but my pc did not have a proxy active.

Yeah so you are relaying traffic like a proxy would, which then adds another dynamic to the performance of the stream. Is the proxy host in UK I imagine?

So better to signup for a service which has landing in London, you can usually choose this with any decent proxy/VPN procider.

Drop me a PM with your account details and IP. Are you using a proxy or VPN maybe?

I guarantee this wont be related to cool Ideas, all the "dns" providers are having an issue with hulu at the moment, the only guys who managed to fix it was smartdnsproxy, and they only fixed it yesterday.

I appreciate your input, but you're wrong- I've tried different dns services (including CISPs default dns, google dns and then other private dns') on my CISP connection and all of them fail. I can access Hulu using my cellphone; thus it must be linked to my line. Maybe my ip is being blocked. PBCool, I've sent you my info via PM.

Have you tried flushing dns when you tested each dns?

Yeah we are seeing some erratic performance on the aerial network, we have engaged with Vumatel regarding it. There is a scheduled change in the next few days I believe.

I am getting poor streaming performance again tonight.

@PBCool any idea when this will be sorted out?
