Hi, my mates just signed up to Net TV Plus and got the motorola VIP 1003. He's on a 8mb line from sky with sky's router and its got an ethernet to that.
It works most of the time, but a significant part of the time it stutters (significant meaning enough to annoy him) he says its worse when his laptop is on. He seems to think its his router whereas I was a little dubious. He is after buying a new router and seeing if that works but I said before shelling out I would have an ask on here to see what you guys think.
Could it be his actual line speed or do you think he might be right with the router being at fault? He's replaced the ethernet to rule that out, but I cant think of a way of checking what bandwidth this motorola box is using up to see if its being chocked (8mb should be enough though right?) nor do I know how to check the router without trying a different one.
What you think?
