Official Vox DSL feedback thread

Hulu is completely dead, it has been like that for the last two nights.
netflix seems to be ok but general web browsing is horrible.
 
I had to switch to my Telkom Account to Stream the F1 Channel.
Fortunately I have enough Telkom Bandwidth left for this weekends Opening GP in Australia.

Movies I just buffer during the day or download for offline viewing.
 
Its definitely related to video, youtube constantly buffering.
Netflix is terrible too, which is a real pain if you only use iptv.

Have been battling with vox line speeds not consistent upgraded from 4 to 10 Meg and now 20 Meg vdsl n still only get upto 17meg speed after changing 2 modems n am 1.6km to exchange any advice?

Only 17 Mbps on a 20 Mbps line? Sync speed or download speed? If it is download speed, do you know that there are overheads on a DSL line and that you cannot download at your full sync speed ever? The overhead is normally around 15%, so that means your max rate should be 20*0.85=17 Mbps. If your speed varies a lot and is normally a lot slower then you have something to worry about.

If you sync at 17 Mbps that is probably because you are too far away to get 20 Mbps.
 
I am having problems in EC, but the strange thing is i am getting a 9.94Meg ave download on speed test, but anything i try stream, just buffers almost continually.
If I switch to an Afrihost account, I can watch uninterrupted.
Is it a capacity issue with Vox?

Sounds more like a shaping issue.

I find the same with P2P streaming, Afrihost is perfect, Telkom useable but only sees half the Peers, VOX can see no Peers so no stream.

They claim it is unshaped but when it comes to streaming only shaping can account for the issues.

i think you are correct.
Changing to fibre as soon as I decide who to go with.
 
As a follow up to my last comment. I called Vox, informed them that Afrihost( who manage my line) as well as Telkom have given me a clean bill of health.
I sent them my speed tests, with excellent Ping and speeds.
I also informed them that once i changed to another providers account, that I had zero buffering.
I enquired if my Fat Pipe was "Shaped", the answer was "No". but miraculously, immediately after the call, I have had no more problems and even had a call from Vox at 20:30 last night to ask it all was well! I was streaming two 1080 streams from netflix and one from Hulu last night at the same time, and had zero buffer.
So clearly, there was something wrong on the Vox side, but all good now.
Got to thank Vox.
 
Anyone else having problem getting into Multi-player games on Xbox Live? Can't seem to join any games this week.
 
I also had performance issues last week on fat pipe, streaming was poor. But things are back to normal again.
 
Anyone got some vox fatpipe to use? Those who have terrabytes carried over ?
 
Did anyone else's Vox's DNS just die.

I'm connected but I had to manually use Google's DNS.

Edit: It just came back, it was down for about 5 minutes.
 
International seems down for me on VOX. =/

Can't get to BBC for example:

Download Streamlink and Streamlink Twitch GUI.

Once both are installed open Streamlink Twitch GUI - Settings - Enable advanced settings.

Now go to the third tab, it should be called Streamlink, set the stream type to rtmp and HLS segments to 10.

Thanks for the info, I already do that though, it's the through put in general that has been up and down since yesterday evening.
