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?

I did raise a fault via the complaints mechanism (I was never given a magical "FLT" reference though) and I was called back by a few different levels of Tech support who had me do the usual rubbish of connecting my router to a test socket etc (even though it was just Netflix primarily that was affected). Then Christmas came along and honestly I couldn't be bothered to go through the painful tech support process again who didn't seem to understand the problem correctly...then I saw this thread (and the "Vodafone throttling Netflix" one in the "Other broadband queries" area) so decided to sit tight and wait for the fabled fix...

 

Still waiting obviously...

No change here. I was getting under 10Mbps until 22 Feb, then full speed until just over a week ago (not sure of the precise date) when it reverted to under 10Mbps. None of the fixes so far have made any difference. Prestatyn, North Wales.

Well for me, single threaded performance appears to have taken a further dip! I'm now consistently seeing between 4 - 12Mbps, rising to 20 - 26Mbps at certain points in the day.

No FLT reference - no technical fix. Customer reference starting with CZK usually being closed without any action.

To get FLT as you said you will need sort of magic. I was recording my conversations in case I wanted to leave penalty free.

 

However for me VF was fixed and I feel blessed with their working broadband for half price of nearest competitor.

 

Some people giving up before getting FLT

 

@Mozambezi you couldnt be more wrong.

 

I haven't contacted Vodafone or spoken to Tech2 or anything of the sort and my issue is fixed.

 

They're going around every node thats borked and fixing it., however slow it may be.
