BT Sport

Having just moved to BT because Demon my erstwhile ISP decided to drop its email
service as part of an 'upgrade', I've now got BT Sport, only it's totally
unwatchable because there's a stuttttter every few seconds whenever I watch it.

My friend Google seems to think it's a common problem, but no-one has much idea how
to fix it, at least not as far as I'm concerned.

I was just wondering if anyone here has got it to work properly? Is there a cure,
or have we all been duped by BT marketing?

What did BT say when you spoke to them about it?

Do you know the speed of your BT service ? I sometimes watch a BBC iPlayer
programme and that is subject to buffering whilst the delivery catches up
with the computer.

No, it's not buffering that I'm complaining of, it's the video always stuttering
while it's playing, like it's missing out frames, most of the time just momentarily
but often half a second or so. The audio stutters too.

My 17 meg service actually gives me between 16 and 17.5 and works iPlayer and other
streaming services perfectly well, so it shouldn't be anything to do with the speed.

I was just wondering if anyone has actually got BBC Sport to work properly or if
it's a universal problem.

I I have BT sport HD as an add on to my BT Vision package, 2 neighbours
here in OAPland have stand alone BT sport which I installed for them.

Both neighbours report that it works perfectly, I have never seen a
stutter or glitch on any of the streaming channels.

A while back I tried watching one BT HD stream while recording another
on BT Vision, simultaneously playing 2 BBC iPlayer HD streams, one on my
Freesat box and another on the TV, at the same time my nephew played PS3
Gran Turismo online, also a download speed test was run on the PC.
It all worked fine, and the multi streaming didn't affect the PC
connection speed, as it shouldn't.

I would say your stuttering is caused by a line problem..

Nothing yet because I haven't so far thought it worthwhile to spend 3 hours hanging
on the phone to someone in India who won't have a clue and will suggest futile,
simplistic measures like resetting the BT hub and rebooting the computer that I've
already tried.

You know the score.

What you don't realise is that this solution will help the vast majority of
callers. It's not the fault of the lad answering the phone that his
superiors don't employ suitable people to deal with the specialist callers.

Yes.
The internet is getting more and more rubbish as time passes. you speed up
the local part of the broadband and it bottlenecks somewhere else.
I think quite often downloading and watching later is often better but not
really the way they promote it. this is one reason I will not subscribe to
on line tv services.
I'm not with BT but I do find that even bbc stuff over directly connected
virgin broadband at breakneck speed still glitches or buffers at times.

If you are wirelessly connected then you might have interference issues.

No he just had an accent so thick it was impossible to say if he had one or
not.
