anyway then pod77 posted a sarcastic comment to your post. i think it was directed at that... nothing big i think just to stop any further accusations.

Roger that sir!, I got it all good.. was my fault for missing that post :(

But yeh finally There was absolutely no Buffering on BT Sports for UFC 194, all the credit goes to the NFPS team, I see some other posts also mentioning that they had buffering before and none last night for UFC!! Hopefully the team can keep up the good work and our internet and hardware doesnt cheat us also lol :cool:

A lot of freezing using kodi 15.2 (iptv stalker 9.0.21) and iptv simple cluent. W/ 10mb of internet speed. drive Me crazy.

it's weird, BT Sport 2 was fine watching the UFC on Sat but the Sky Movie channels were buffering all day Sunday.

Sunday NFL Ticket Channels were low video quality and froze too much..................

This is 29 cents a day and they are constantly working on it, yes it's frustrating but for the cost how can you be mad?(unless you thought this would be your only TV Source) With this service you should have a backup source just incase an issue arises plain and simple. If you think you are going to get hassle free TV for $105 a year than you should only be mad at yourself as that will never happen! For the cost of this service after a few events and movies it has paid for itself! Sorry to all the people who thought they struck gold and decided to be resellers thinking its a get rich scheme... With any business you should always do your homework!!

hey, imho

...all servers run like swiss cheese ..reality is, "peak hours" are the biggest drawback when it comes to connecting to a server b/c there are many more clients connecting to these servers... some p$ (private) servers who share seeds will limit customers added to a server..the bigger the server the better and the cable companies who are running IPTV WILL get same issues as the little guys, the nagging buffer issues...the more servers being used, like NFPS does? they are likely using many more servers hence why you will see some are buffering and others NOT..we don;t know which server we are connecting to so, if customers were allowed to know if it was a geo location issue we can then change to a server to handle the traffic, better ...connecting to overseas servers is even more conflicting

once a server is trying to handle too much traffic (especially peak times) they cannot recover until less traffic

its a sad reality and will continue UNLESS the providers (private or public) up their bandwidth ...and there is the problem, COST!!!!

cable companies who offer iptv service also will limit their bandwidth with their internet customers so is it any wonder they too will get buffering during peak times? they keep trying to find hardware issues (mostly a myth) and even tell their csr's to try and point customers to their INTERNET hardware as if this was the issue of their buffers..hogwash...so, what it all boils down to is the amount of traffic connecting to their server(s)

and what channels get affected are dependent on how many are trying to stream through them..iptv is nice when it works and can stream without the buffers but its life in the internet world , it will NEVER be perfect and yes i get annoyed too but what can you do?

i just come on here to see if im NOT the only one and once i see im NOT?? then i know (as always) it's NOT my hardware..thats all i need to know..but i DO understand the rants, it comes with the territory...

Happy Holidays!!

Another way these companies tend to take care of traffic is by reducing the each streams quality.
For instance at normal times one would get 2mb feed, but at peak times it will be reduced to 512kb or lower.
I may be wrong, but there seems to be no max limit set to the streams. They sometimes touch 3mb + also.
I would think 2MB is plenty for a 1080i stream, and we don't have any 1080i streams.

Freerzing time the service is bad.
