Vox FTTH IPTV Throttling?

[John8]

Hi All

So I have signed up and tested various IPTV providers, and have had quite a few issues over the last few months. I realize its not the best and most stable platform for all content, and don't expect it to be, but have now after a lot of frustration realized a common denominator - I changed ISPs a few months ago and my issues has started then.

I have since done some digging and testing after realizing this. One specific provider struggles and fails to load. When on mobile data, no issue... When swapping to my LTE failover, no issue.... Put back on my Vox PPPoE - BAM! DNS doesn't seem to make any difference. No use I test a VPN as it is "unnecessary" (even though it will most probably resolve the issue) extra cost for something that works on other networks.

Now... All traffic seems to be port 8070 or 8080... A few IP's of the destinations below:

37.49.230.161
37.49.230.119
37.49.230.48
37.49.225.127
37.49.225.139
108.181.132.217
108.181.132.127
108.181.123.13

I have reached out to @Vox Customer Service but that is like speaking to a brick wall...

Seems to be routing related? Or why would it work on other networks "flawlessly" but not on Vox?

Anyone any experience or advise on FTTH (Frogfoot - not that it should matter) with Vox? Perhaps anyone with a similar issue on their network or a contact person that I can inbox?

If that's the case, it is probably exacerbated by this:

Not running the IPTV train but anything that needs something on EU or States side is pretty much-bottlenecked atm since the breaks are making us push traffic on different routes. when did this start? remember lte networks are massive networks and depends on routing traffic also they might have more backup capacity where some ISP's don't have that buffer zone.

So this started when I changed ISP to Vox about 5months ago. What is interesting is a trace from either LTE/mobile or Vox is showing latency of +-200-220ms. No loss present in either of the MTR's. Hence I also wondered if its not related to the way port(s) 8070/8080 is being treated by the ISP? thoughts?

I am in CT region and we have a massive neighbourhood Facebook group and quite a few people at the moment are struggling with IPTV on Vox but before the cable breaks were fine i don't know the details of what provider they using but they were just asking if others were struggling and i then popped in to mention the cable break etc.

I tested ping wise from CT the 37 range on my work RSAWEB connection is EU based and comes back with 150ms and the 108 is US based at 250ms, the 250ms routing is really bad via RSAWEB since its going east coast and not via Equiano like the other traffic

So heres the current state. Vox hanging, and when it loads, plays 5 seconds then stops. Cellc LTE smooth as butter....

Also peers for interest sake hoping some clever people can help me address this with the right people.
