Have the introduced traffic management for the top internet package now? I have downloaded 9 of the 4k movies and I noticed it took forever as I was getting around 4mb download speeds. I was turning the computer off while at work then back on when I got in and speeds were faster but not for long as they dropped back down to 4mb.

How can upload affect my download.

Tidgy, i just added the 9 films to download and they were something like 500gig. I was expecting to get them quickly but it took 3 days which is just silly download times.

I stream a lot thru Plex, Netflix and Nowtv, I did have Amazon prime but got rid of it after 2 days as everything they take you to is virtually all paid for content and you have to search for the free stuff.


I hope your streaming isn't thru an android box as that isn't legal

Got my 200mb speed and if it keeps going the way it is now I will be a happy bunny. Fed up phoning them complaining about the speed when it was 120mb would stall after 30 seconds watching a YouTube video and my 3G phone would not.
