Here's the proof of throttling - Once I vpn out of the vodafone throttling wall twitch is working perfect at full video source.
PROOF of throttling - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWqlPPGcv6Q
It looks like throttling is around between 3.8 - 4 - once I hit up onto the vpn you will notice i'm up at around 10 and playback is perfect
There's too many other customers on here reporting the exact same issue for it to be a problem our side - I've tested multiple routers etc to rule that out - I created this new thread because now we can see it really is a vodafone problem.
this is my speed
Can you give an estimation when this will be changed back?

Another one with the same issue. Spoke with tech support and still awaiting a call back. Won’t hold my breath!

Anything Dave? The Tech team are a waste of time.

Not a thing back from anyone. Tech 2 were very reassuring telling me “not to worry we will get this sorted for you”. Waste of time. Suppose I will give them another call.

Maybe point them to this thread, I think this pretty much explains what the problem is - and if they need further support i'm sure we can provide it for them lol
Nothing on there network would ever max over 4meg for iptv - it's actually a clever way of throttling to the customer, but at the moment vodafone's broadband is not fit for purpose it like being back in the 90's - i'm just pleased we can use a vpn to get around this issue for now but it's not ideal.
if anyone needs a vpn check out https://protonvpn.com service is fairly cheap and decent.

If you are trying to connect to a site that is outside of VF & C&W the bonkers routing seems to have been very quietly fixed late last week. If you have to connect to a site that is hosted or a part of VF/C&W then they still have some major internal routing issues.
I guess the problem now arises when there are people on here who are having connection problems related to other issues, as for the last couple of months these will have been masked by the network wide issues.

Can’t you give me an example so I can test said theory mate? What websites?
16-01-2019 08:45 AM
scrap that its broken again....
16-01-2019 04:01 PM
Well if you want an example, lets have a laugh>>
Maybe this explains why, just now I can't even connect to Vodafones London speedtest server, while other sites are working fine. Oh, and for the record, despite using my own router, I'm still using the Vodafone DNS!
