I have a zgemma h2s with an IPTV sub. My broadband provider is BT. Last night I was plagued by blocky images and frequent stuttering while trying to watch the Wales v Ireland match in FHD or HD. SD was a bit better though. I flicked through the other sports channels and noticed the problem was occurring with them too. AT this point I concluded that my provider's severs must be oversubscribed.
Out of desperation, not long after half time I switched on my box's VPN to see if it made any difference (I switch it off when there's no PL games on). Instantly streaming was perfect and stayed that way for the rest of the evening.
This morning I find out that a friend of mine experienced exactly the same problems as me last night but he left his VPN off and the issues never went away. He uses a different ISP (VM) and has a different provider.
The only conclusion I can draw is that ISPs are now starting to throttle the bandwidth to certain IPTV servers during peak times.
Did anyone else suffer with interruptions to their IPTV service last night?
