Does Mweb Throttle IPTV ?

I will give it a go but if this how you deal with issues - by going on the attack - no thank you.
Can you solve this in a professional way?

We have tried very hard to contact to resolve, I’m sure you can understand that we want to resolve the issue.

Unfortunately the user who published the issue does not want to resolve it with us, which is rather frustrating.

Then the questions comes about of whether they are were a user on our network. It’s very fickle when people hide behind a keyboard, and make claims, with an alias username and you can’t even tell if it’s just someone joking around? Or maybe even someone who works at a competitive ISP?

So not attacking, but I have boundaries and I definitely know we don’t throttle, and I will most certainly defend that unsubstantiated remark.

I believe in partnerships when it comes to our clients and we need to have respect for each other, we value our clients and we know that we have the best network in SA.

I know where you coming from but imagine been in my boat where you have to constantly use other methods to watch. I will gladly test the IPTV again for you and provide feedback over the weekend during peak times, if you give me a test account as I am no more a customer of Rocketnet, I don't work for any ISP as I work for a private Cyber Security company.

You can also try proton vpn, I was on rocketnet and they kept saying they don't throttle iptv etc so when I showed them a video when I flicked to my vox fat pipe and no buffering occurs on my iptv they never respond, so eventually I left them to go for an isp that does not throttle iptv during peak times. As you will Carry on going around in circles with these isps.

Save yourself the hassle of fighting with the isps and switch to a better isp.

Found this post and it helped me out with regard to IPTV services being throttled by certain isp's. My fibre line is with Openserve-Telkom.
Anyways, so initially I had tried to bypass the nonsense with my Windscribe account. That does not seem to work. But that Proton VPN you mentioned, did the trick. :thumbsup:

Hi @moms

Would like you to please elaborate on how you have come to the conclusion that RocketNet is blocking IPTV, I can assure you that we don’t, shape, throttle, or block anything.

Kindly PM me your details so we can chat.

LOL that's what they always say.
FYI I am not your client, I live overseas. Come here and see what REAL internet is like.

I know all the underhanded tricks of SA ISPs very well.

How did this test go? I'm also expereincing lag in IPTV streaming during peak times. Could this an issue with the FNO rather than the ISP? I'm not sure if it can be a contetion issue, since I don't experience this with any other streaming sevices (YouTube, Netflix, DSTV Now, PLEX, etc)
 
If anyone on Openserve wants a test account let me know?

Rocketnet have been very stable on the raw panel I have been using from my IPTV provider, it is the ISP and not the FNO have done alot of testing with different ISP's using openserve as an FNO , if you use a VPN connected to SA your problem will be solved. Mweb support is useless so you won't really be getting anywhere, as they are not aware of iptv or don't really get involved due to dstv being high priority in SA.

The best guys I notice for me was Afrihost as I had a friend that was on the Same provider as me and when I contacted AfriNatic that time they actually got a better route for him to the provider and he's issues was resolved. So most of the time when people ask me I give them a list of ISP's I have tested with and then they can choose which ISP to go with.

Not sure about cool ideas as an ISP as I never tested them but had some buddies say that it is good but sometimes goes weird during weekends or big games so not sure if it's the iptv provider or the route that cool ideas is using to getting to the iptv providers servers.
 
so guys which isp is currently good for iptv?mweb(vuma) didnt work out for me either even on a 100mb line.
some people said coolideas.but i see too many complaints in their forum
need a provider who doesnt throttle during peak
 
I use Cool Ideas and neighbour uses Afrihost no throttling on there with the same IPTV provider on Octotel
I think one of the members mentioned Vox also don’t throttle
