Vodafone are known to throttle iptv use a vpn
My iptv f***ed up seriously last night on VM.
Was watching the undercard and was flawless until the 6th round of the penultimate fight. It then started to buffer terribly, perhaps 5 seconds of action followed by 10-20 seconds of buffering, unwatchable.
This was through my phone with pia running.
Tried it on my Firestick and it was every bit as bad but seemed worse as I now had it on the big screen. Moved to my bedroom and tried it through my T98 android box running openvpn. Far better but each round lasted about 6 minutes. As the countdown to the round reached about 1m 30s the stream would go back to something like 2m 45s. This would usually then repeat itself and all of a sudden the action had skipped into the next round.
I gave up on the 10th round and switched off. Pretty sure with all the faffing about the actual real fight was probably over and done with anyway.
Disappointing as my iptv is usually really quite good. I tried several different vpn servers and even tried without but it refused to clear then. Due to it working flawlessly a short while before I assume that it was a supplier problem rather than any action VM took. Well, I hope so

Mine was spot on, BT no VPN
Mine does have built in VPN ,not sure who it s or how good it is ,I also have surfshark as well
Mine never used to need my vpn but it changed a few months ago. No vpn no stream
I never need a vpn and I am on VM….
Sounds like it could be is ISP tbh.
No problems watching IPTV via Vodafone here (with and without NordVPN).
All this is a bit of an eye opener for me, 2 years ago was advised that I needed VPN to protect myself, got 2 year deal for price of 1 year .won't renew n October but see how it runs and if necessary use the inbuilt one if problems occur.
