Jai Dee Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 It is probably your Internet Service Provider throttling international download speeds. Check your download speed using testmy.net and select a download server in either the US or the UK. In general, the minimum bandwidth for IPTV streaming is 25Mbps for standard definition video and 30Mbps for high definition video. See more information on the subject here. What IPTV service are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What IPTV service are you using? Broadbandservicesiptv My speeds are above what you have quoted. I have 3 sections live tv, movies and series, movies and series are fine but live tv is virtually been unwatchable due to constant buffering, after complaining and being told its all my fault suddenly it has improved, recently they reported a major corruption of there service which had to be completely rebuilt, I'm guessing they found another problem., hopefully now fixed. Testmy.net says download is 61 MBPS I'm paying for 1000 MBPS Edited January 5, 2022 by Badrabbit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many are only able to take 100 mbps despite your ISP supplying 1000. Assume you are wired to your router with an ethernet cable -- you should have cat7 cable at the least. Many boxes are supplied with cat5 cables which are good for YouTube etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testmy.net says download is 61 MBPS I'm paying for 1000 MBPS I have the same problem , live TV buffers but movies OK . Also the speed check the same . Technicians at my place many times and speed test on their laptop always shows high download and upload . Not sure but someone told me if you are say watching a live footy game , there are many others streaming the same which dilutes the stream .

Bangkok Barry Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Anyone interested in trying a 95%+ reliable service then PM me. I'm not selling it but can point you in the right direction. I think it costs around 1600-1800 per three months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzannegoh Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 If you’re talking about a pirate IPTV service, many of them are oversubscribed, in which case the freezing might just be because there isn’t enough bandwidth at the source. If the problem is throttling by your ISP in Thailand, using a VPN might help. The Ethernet on your Android box being limited to 100 Mbps is unlikely to be part of the problem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, the minimum bandwidth for IPTV streaming is 25Mbps for standard definition video and 30Mbps for high definition video. See more information on the subject here. What IPTV service are you using? Those estimates of the required bandwidth for SD and HD video sound way high, unless they are assuming that having average download speed of 30 Mbps that it sometimes would be dropping much lower than that. And if the limitation was bandwidth on his end, shouldn't movies have just as much of a problem as live TV? If using Kodi, you can check to see the actual bandwidth being used in real-time using the keyboard shortcut Ctr-Shift-O while something is playing. What I find with that is that with 1080p content ripped from a Blu-Ray and streamed from a NAS that the above mentioned 30 Mps is sometimes consumed but more typically there's quite a bit of compression has been applied and it will be closer to 10 Mbps on pirated MKV files; and much less than that when streaming from commercial sources.
