Severe Buffering

[Nightrider13]

For 3 night now, beginning about 8PM EST USA buffering is so bad it's unusable. Every channel buffers 1 second at a time. Anyone else having issues? Never had this happen until recently. No changes on my network.

I find most nights at about that time the buffering gets real bad.

Same here, during some times of the day most channels are unwatchable. Only very few times I manage to watch without freezing or buffering issues.

almost all channels are unwatchable, south east asia region

It is not almost all channels for me, it is just the channels with the highest rated movies/shows. So just don't watch the stuff everybody wants to see

I hope the bandwidth of the channels will increase. However I understand, that this is not a trivial thing to accomplish.

During the morning, afternoon, and early evening it works great. No buffering at all. But as soon as 7PM-8PM gets closer, the buffering begins to happen. It would be interesting to know what times the servers get slammed with clients/streams. Since donators are accessing from different parts of the world, it's hard to pin-point a "high activity time" without those graphs on the server end. Oh well. Hopefully it's just maintenance stuff going on and gets better. Great service regardless.

same thing going on here. works fine for most of the day. as day goes on u get some buffering issues. by 7 or so it's unwatchable. i'm +5:00 time zone. obviously the server is just getting overloaded during peek times. you can easily tell this by using a program like bitmeter and seeing the difference from when it is working well to when it is not. I don't see how it could be a channel specific thing? all channels are running through the same server right ?

Its pretty dire. If theres anything on worth watching then you wont be able to watch it. I have no confidence in getting into a show or sports event and I now count down the seconds until it goes belly up before looking for alternatives.

Not many issues on my end...

I've heard many times a response from a moderator...when someone claims channels freezing......Well the bandwidth from your ips is being used by your neighbors at night and that is why it is freezing.................Well you would have thought the Rocket-NFPS people would have taken that into consideration when they started up this venture......
