International streaming on Home-Connect

[Higgins]

Anyone else had buffering issues when streaming from international sources over Home Connect?
I have a 20/2 fibre line with them. Speedtests are showing good speed and decent latency. But when I stream it buffers endlessly on HD,

Point is I dont have this issue when setting up a VPN to my brother's fibre connection and breakout via his ISP. I also tested some VPN services (breaking out via another ISP) and also no buffering on international traffic. No evidence I am being throttled but certainly a difference when I break out to international traffic between Home-Connect and other ISP's.

H-C are at this stage investigating with their international carrier but no resolution yet.

Just wanted to know if I am the only H=C customer to have this experience on international streaming.

If your streaming involves Twitch, try the Twitch 5 browser extension for the browser of your choice for an improved Twitch streaming experience, no matter how much buffering issues you currently have

Nope not Twitch. But its clear as daylight that there is something of a contention issue with H-C's international carrier. Buffering is horrible this evening. Again, going via another ISP, no issues

Telkom does the same to me like this past weekend I have 20mg unacapped unlimited paying premium for max 5mg that I actually get. Telkom is the biggest fraudster around.

Hi Higgins

What Fibre ISP are you using?

There were some major fibre breaks earlier.
