I use speed checker. i'll test it 3 consecutive times, if the vpn doesn't do the trick (will post results). However, my Zgemma had a consistent 65/70 signal strength, 47mbps download speed and -45dbm wifi signal during the entirety of glitching

If Vodafone are throttling your speeds at football viewing times then all a vpn will do AFAIA is to reduce your speed slightly - so for the above example I gave it might knock 5% off each of those speeds, so you'd still be experiencing throttling.

Wouldn't this affect all other streaming on other devices, Youtube, Netflix, etc? It hasn't, btw

No problems yet, but here are my 3 consecutive speed tests

That ping is shocking how far away from exchange are you I hit 22-26 ping consecutively on every test I do

try speedtest from ookla , agree with baz that's terrible , even on a good day opening a channel must be slow

 

[SuperUlterior]

are you getting the same ping results all the time or do you get differnet times depending on the time of day?

 

[inadayswork]

Those speeds look decent and big improvement on ping bare in mind your running WiFi and not ethanet is there a way to put an ethanet into box pc or laptop and do a speed test hard wired I get about 30 on my phone on WiFi and 37 on hard wired

My laptop is goosed. Sent a letter to Santa

My wifi speeds on full package from voda pull in the same speeds not sure why i reckon just poor router , but hard wired i can get max speed more or less

[inadayswork]

I wouldn't be put off just yet. I have 2 days of glitching (6.30 -10pm) out of 60 days. Apart from that it is good value for money, imo. £20 cheaper per month than VM. Customer service is poor though

Vodafone are over subscribed they told me my exchange is full to capacity. Luckily got out. I had the same with vodafone constant buffering, you could put a timer to it. I also think they know from patterns were streaming iptv and they know a way of disrupting it majorly. I know my provider was ace as others tried it for me over a few days and reported it ok for me. For me every channel it would glitch every 40secs
