do you have NBN to the premises ? We have NBN to the house via iiNet and it is usually around 23Mbps on a 25Mbps plan here in Booragoon. For some reason when streaming overseas TV channels it is often stop-start, especially in the evening. I have been told the ISP can “throttle” that type of streaming mode. Anyone has the same experience ?
