100% Proof of throttling twitch iptv etc.

Here's the proof of throttling - Once I vpn out of the vodafone throttling wall twitch is working perfect at full video source.

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?

Not sure what this means (good or bad) but Ive still got issues with buffering on HD streams on my IPTV service so Ive just run a tracert and got similar to the above ?  Using Vodafones router...

Hey @JimboAccy, what results do you get when performing trace results for www.google.com? Do you get similar results to the above screenshot?

I've known cases where tracert doesn't always work: I also get failures to www.vodafone.co.uk. Howerver using traceroute -T under Linux does complete:

 

 

sudo traceroute -T www.vodafone.co.uk
traceroute to www.vodafone.co.uk (85.205.252.161), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

Hi MarkF

I will try that when I get home tonight and will post the screenshot. I have the Google DNS servers manually entered into my router as advised by the online chat people I spoke to when I first reported this problem a week or 2 back, so fingers crossed, tracert'ing google.com should be fine?

Which ever name servers you use, shouldn't affect the results of a trace route.

Many people recommend googleDNS or OpenDNS, etc in preference to ISP provided DNS.  OpenDNS and the like sometimes filter too (in order to help with malware protection too, iirc).

So does my screenshot reveal a problem then?  Ive no idea what that result means?

ping response times shown in the tracert should be around the 10ms (or less - lower is better), so that seems to show at a guess local contention issues...

it's not local contention 

 

when using a VPN proves that - we get better results once we use a vpn  (traceroutes  improve as it's routed correctly + we get no streaming problems).

 

It's proving the issues are vodafone side not the customers - look at all the customers with the identical same problem - we are all conntected with the SAME problem. 

I know that this might be a bigger issue affecting more than just me but heres the results to google.com nonetheless as requested by .@MarkF and another test to vodafone.com...  Slightly less hops to google?
