Slingshot must be doing some masive throttleing of streaming video from international sites.

 

It is basically impossible to watch a video (for example from Microsoft Virtual Academy) without video stopping and buffering every 5 seconds. The problem is especially bad in the evenings.

 

I have been with slingshot for over 15 years now - and this got to be the worst that I've ever had it.

 

Streaming the same video over a VPN tunnel through one of the free VPN providers - streams smothly.

 

I'm on unlimited ADSL plan.

 

Makes me seriously reconcider my continious commitment to slingshot.

Hi there,

 

We don't artificially throttle your speeds. If you've noticed a problem with your connection your best bet would be to give our support team a buzz on 0800 89 2000 so we can troubleshoot this and potentially raise a fault ticket.

 

Cheers!
