sorry missed that, streams seem to be working ok for me.

[psp83]

Ok. Been doing a quick test..

I connected my win 7 laptop to my Three MIFI (2.5mb down & 1.5mb up) and get no lag when watching, watch the same stream on my pc and it lags.

Stream : http://www.justin.tv/nswtv01o (just picked at random - its wrestling atm)

Pass that on to support, Paul, with a trace if you can.

Will do.

Perhaps its trying to tell me something.. stop watching JTV and save the bandwidth!!! 

[pctech]

At a guess there's a problem with LONAP?

[pctech]

Though if your mate is using ID and is getting buffer free streaming it sounds like some sort of weird BT issue.

[psp83]

So I'm guessing its a routing issue?

Sometimes I get 6 hops and sometimes I get 7 hops with IP's being #6 & 7 on the tracert with 7 hops.

Stream doesn't lag for me at all

He's on talktalk

[pctech]

Sounds like a LONAP routing issue.

[pctech]

This is the stream I am currently listening to http://justin.tv/minimal_labor_ost

[psp83]

sof2er this is a fibre free zone  



You take the same route as me but you dont lag.

JTV just hates me then!  

[pctech]

Don't you hate these smug fibre people although I might be able to get 100 Meg fibre soon which should make DSL look like dial-up 

[sof2er]

 , it takes the same route it shouldn't have anything to do with fiber I think.

[pctech]

Odds on its exchange congestion then.

[Rik]

I think so.

[gingerjedi]

deleted: wrong thread

[Rik]

They're all wrong, Ginger.

[pctech]

Only solution might be for IDNet to start unbundling although I know its an expensive business both in build out but also monthly rentals.

[Rik]

They have looked at alternatives, eg Be.

Thanks for reminding me about this site Paul, have kept dipping into the stream I linked to earlier and the music those two DJs are pumping out is first class.
