Ok, I use XBMC so how do you reckon that will be affected?

depends on the source. XBMC is just a front-end. Which plugins/services do you use on it?

Crystal Web just some more questions before signing up with you guys. I stream content from XBMC, how will streaming be affected on your network, will I get shaped or will it be at full speed?

Secondly I play online with my ps4 will this also be at full speed? We barely download anything only on our phones and tablets and the odd game download on the ps4 or updates.

If you have a line with them and maybe use the it for the same services I do please post you view as well.
Thanks

I stream plenty on XBMC / Kodi using various sources.

If the stream is http in nature, YMMV but is generally ok. HD sources a bit iffy - it depends on the provider of the stream. SD is always fine. (Genesis add-on).

Last night I watched the original Matrix in HD from a Genesis stream so it can work.

OSS for sport is normally ok with little buffering in HD.

Youtube and Netflix is always perfect in HD.

I used to really enjoy XBMCtorrent (now KmediaTorrent) but that is shaped to death on IS so no longer an option.

I dont even know what xbmctorrent is so no worries there.

Thanks for the input guys

XBMCtorrent was basically popcorntime for XBMC ... an amazing add-on.

For TV Shows, I aim towards using Moviestorm's Ishared link. Fine for 480P.
For movies, I usually try for 180upload gives me perfect 720P.

http downloads and streaming crawling for me now. 1.5mbps on kodi streams and Netflix on 20mbps VDSL.

Again, Afrihost flying at line speed.

What's up in the evenings lately CW - high contention on capped ?

Edit: Afrihost just went pear shaped as well. Something must be up on International tonight in SA.

The net is crawling tonight. Very very slow something is broke!

It's super odd, I see afrihost threads are complaining of the same issues...

Most likely a widespread issue affecting more than just CW.

 

[ghostR]

Yes, I think so too.

My vox account is also a bit poor on international sites.

getting 2,3mbps down on my 40 meg line.

WA capped is fine.

 

[Looney]

WA capped is fine.

Odd, hope CW can give some feedback on this.

Ahhh well, guess I won't be streaming popcorntime tonight.

 

[slvR]

WA capped is fine.

[semaphore]
