I got 184.19 Mbps down / 11.94 Mbps up while streaming YT, ping is 34 |
| 13 |
ms, according to the same test. Steam games download at 24 MByte/s. This |
| 14 |
line is very capable but even with the lowest contract from Vodafone, |
| 15 |
your line speed is way too low... |

I wouldn't deny this. I've seen v5 firmware Fritzboxes lately which |
| 25 |
seem to have been hijacked on customer sites. The effect was that a |
| 26 |
firmware upgrade fails (red led only after flashing the upgrade) and |
| 27 |
before the upgrade, connections to mail servers through wifi behaved |
| 28 |
different than connections to the same servers did through copper |
| 29 |
connection... |

|

Plus, older boxes are very low on CPU and won't take much more than |
| 32 |
30-80 Mbps probably. This can totally break your streaming experience |
| 33 |
even if your throughput could do better. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
If you're on DSL (not cable as I am), try to swap the box for another |
| 36 |
one from a friend and see if it works better. If yes, either get a new |
| 37 |
box (which supports current firmwares), or backup your config, use the |
| 38 |
recovery tool to reset the firmware to pristine state, and restore the |
| 39 |
config. Cable boxes are actually not that easy to swap due to |
| 40 |
certificate locking. |
