Lag/Freeze/Buffering Issue when Streaming
Looking to see if someone here can help me with this ongoing issue.
Problem: I stream movies and shows from a jailbroken Apple TV2 as well as watch/stream live hockey games from www.hockeystreams.com. My internet provider is Bell and package is 25/10 (25=download/10=upload). While watching High Def content I experience a freeze or lag every 4-6 seconds while watching hockey on hockeystreams.com, if I switch to Standard Def there is NO freeze or lag at all. While watching movies/shows on Apple TV it buffers once and awhile, never really a smooth ongoing show. The weird thing is when I do a speed test to check my connection I am getting great speeds when I am wireless or hardwire through Ethernet cable (obviously better speeds when i am connected) but I still experience lag/freeze/buffering!!
Here is what I have done already:
- Rebooted modem (put it through a reboot cycle, pulled plug and reconnected 3 times in a row)
- I've downloaded the newest version of Flash (I stream hockey through my macbook pro)
- I've tried hockey games on 3 different browsers (Safari, Chrome and FireFox)
- I've contact Bell several times, I've got a Bell tech guy to come in and switch the modem with a new modem.
- I've deleted all cookies, caches, unused software from my macbook aka cleared up memory
Someone please help. Bottom line is: I experience lag/freeze/buffering when my internet speeds are up to speed. I live in an apartment the modem is literally 6 feet away from the Apple TV box (when wireless) and 3 feet away from my lap top when I am on the couch (wireless). Nothing is blocking the modem or no wall are in the way. Wireless or Hardwired I still experience freeze/lag/buffering when watching shows.
Has anyone experienced this problem!
