Too Much buffering at peak times - Very poor Service

[apun]

i am not affraid to post my results, even though i might have been wrong in my previous experiences.. it was the whole idea by this.
and after yesterday im just more curious, the buffering was so little, but even so the same should happen more or less so.
if i was lying why the heck would I cast doubt over them, that does not make sense at all. if you can not admit your mistakes, you wont learn much. heck the one of the best way to learn is from your mistakes.

also i never doubted that many ppl have buffering problems, like their channels buffer every 5-10 mins.
i tried to explain with good argumentation to why some buffer more, some less, and others not.

what i do not get though is if i had buffering every 5-15 min every day, i would not be around to post crap about the service, i didn't sign up here before or when i got the service either. i signed up a few days or a week or so after, if the service was crap for me i would not even have signed up to join the community that i found out later was not all happy campers :/..

the reason i asked mods to close the thread was because of some kids getting mad and complaining... so mods dont have to babysit them lol not dodging anyone, I am willing to record my screen to show. Anyone knows a program to record my pc screen ? (i could use my iphone but it records in 720p so becomes very large).

what still boggles my mind is why I dont have buffering with regular TV but too much buffering during live events and right after the event buffering goes away (thats why the title of this thread says "BUFFERING DURING PEAK TIMES" not all the time!. Many users in this thread confirmed that also with klitschko ppv fight couple weeks ago (it was funny because HBO PPV stream was buffering crazy and BOXNATION was zero buffer at the same time showing same event) and yes Dec 12 we will know again. It draws more audiance than these group stage champions league so we will have more input from others.

yeah it is a bit odd, as i wrote fox sports 1 buffered a few times towards the end of 1st half, fox sports 2, espn, and other channels did not buffer at all.
iphone makes some pretty big files even in sd or whatever my old iphone records in, the ipad and newer iphones probably bigger unless they use another compression, now you make me wonder about that lol.. i think there is a ok tool called handbrake to reencode or transcode them.
btw. i do not doubt you at all, dont think that. but it could be fun to see the comparison and what you are experiencing.

zero buffering today on the 1st half on any of the champions league games showed on fox sports 1 & 2, and espn 2.
apun are you lucky today?

lol , man im watching and both fox sports are buffering but not as much as yesterday, I have recorded couple videos and will record one more in the 2nd half and i will post here then we can compare a bit more lol. I wish mine worked as smooth as yours

[tuxen]

bummer :/ i recorded 23 min of the last 1st half, recording the 2nd too.

[tuxen]

absolutely no buffering on 2ø'nd half in any of the 3 mathes, got the whole half on video. oh well i'm switching every now and then between the 3 but focusing on fox sport 1. it was the best match imh no football knowledge opinion.

it almost makes me more annoyed now I could not replicate it lol.

you can always come and live with uncle tuxen in his cabin the cold north <wink> <wink> lol

yeah i'm weird and love to freak people out, but in a good way.
and btw. dont worry I know what you are thinking, I dont live in a cabin lol

[tuxen]

it must have something todo with things (the net) are tightening up at live events, and there is a bad routing point somewhere.
i dont feel like i get super speed either, but just above whats necessary.. and then i guess i am bit closer internet wise, and therefore when things tighten, i can just about keep it going.
i dunno, i know i be looking out for more live events though.

@tuxen, since apun have the same isp provider and location as me. What's your location if i may ask. I'm planning to use vpn over the weekend for UFC. I wanna see if there's a difference.
