Re: Slow speed and buffering time

I've just checked your line which looks fine. Your profiles on our side are also fine. The gateway you're connected to is fine too.
I can see you've completed the BT Speedtester which has given you throughput of 14Mbps - this should be fine for streaming.
What are you trying to watch? Is it a standard video or a Live Stream?

How long does it buffer for?
I'm just after a little more information so I can try and help.

Re: Slow speed and buffering time

I'm not sure what you mean?
You've requested some account specific information which I've provided on the Ticket Reference above.
With regards to the buffering issue, does this still happen on BBC iPlayer?
