Streaming speeds
January 31st, 2020
I normally use Showbox to watch my TV shows, now recently its being getting slow on weekends where it keeps buffing/lagging. I am trying to identify where the problem is, is it on my end or their end.
1. I am on Virgin Media and I get 50mb according to SpeedTest
2. I tried it on a VPN and it made no difference
3. Other people use the internet (but I don’t know if they use p2p/torrents ect…) I can’t use open DNS as I have a superhub2 so I would need a new router….
So I am trying to find out is the problem on my end e.g. Virgin and can is it anything I can contact them about, or is it the servers of Movie/show box.
Since speedtest is reporting speeds that would have no problems streaming shows, it’s probably the servers from that Showbox of yours By the way, if Virgin was the issue, using a VPN would not do anything, since data is just going from virign to the VPN, to you, instead of just directly to you
It’s probably on there end. I use vipbox for all my sports and I have 30mbps down and 10 up and I still get lags on videos. I think it’s bandwith traffic on the site/server. I’ve bene streaming a long time. Honestly it has gotten a lot better in just a few years. Some big PPVS will skip a lil but they play much better quality than just 2 years ago.
