Had enough time to test on other ISP's, Taken to 5 different homes in my town..
First, to 3 homes the same as my ISP All Freezing!!
The other 2 homes with different ISP and Booom! There Not freezing at all, even one home with, 3.0 Down and .9 Up for speed..

tried to tell you this a number of times, fell on deaf ears....maybe next time you will listen. Do yourself a favor and get DSL instead of cable internet..JMO

[Rinny]

Am DSL lol the 2 that worked are cable!!!!!!

[K00lKatT]

have 10Mbps down with DSL here and no probs other than some of the reported channel groups, most noticeably the Disc networks

[Rinny]

Yes the Disc. Networks are the worst..But at the same the movies in VOD start to freeze up too
Like i said channels 197 211 226 and more No freezing..

[K00lKatT]

I have zero probs with VOD..:)

[goon]

likewise. vod is spot on. 190 freeze like crazy, and those are the ones I watch the most. spanish channels work good too. 300 some freezing . I use cable internet.

Thank you. For all those complaining about buffering/freezing let this be a lesson in troubleshooting.
The advertised bandwidth does not mean much outside their network if your isp is a cheap bast*rd.

& there r plenty of ways to test your actual connection speed.. should probably be the first thing u test if having issues,, since its free.. google 'speakeasy, for a decent speed test..:)
