We moved to Unlimited today, and have not been able to watch BBC IPlayer since. We get a message saying we don't have enough bandwidth, but when we run their diagnostics test, we are doing fine. And we never had any problems before switching to Unlimited. Any ideas?
Cheers

We changed our package precisely so that we could stream without worrying about going over our monthly limit, so it would be nice if it could work! Otherwise, we'll have to change back!

Quote from: pierre_pierre not blaming you, but trying to stream HD in the evening with this status out is going to be nigh impossible on any package http://usertools.plus.net/status/archive/1245687396.htm they claim that Iplayer has priority, but Oldjim and Asbo would diagree
Yeah yeah, I'm aware of that but it was working very well most of the time (I mean the Murray match in High Quality). Not complaining about that. It's now on iplayer. I'm not even asking for high quality, just normal will do fine.

The only thing I can think is that at peak demand times the BBC offloads the stream to Akamai or similar and Plusnet categorize it as 0x06 and it all goes to pot.
If this is the case the users who connected before demand picked up got one of the BT servers but the latecomers got Akamai
