Hi, with 10 Mbps you will likely encounter buffering, the only way around that is to lower the stream quality, ie rather than trying to stream in 1080 / HD quality, try 480 / SD, you might just get of with SD quality but 10 Mbps is very poor.

As I was the one that recommended Dvblab to you I also said that it was only 10mb download speed but stated that this was plenty for streaming live football...and it is, I do it regularly when I am in Spain, I bring my Firestick over with me and watch whatever match I choose in the highest definition of the broadcast, if there are ever any problems it is with the Firestick not the wifi which is a constant 10mb, yes nowadays others like to have their 300mb downloads etc but for me and my Mrs we do everything that we need on the ' net ' with the 10mb.

Believe me, I would not be happy if I couldn't watch my football.

Morning 😍 

Thanks  again  fir your time  to reply  and  I  appreciate  it  very  much. As  we seem to have  common ground.  THE  FOOTBALL.  

I  have been making  enquiries  with  here in Ireland  with a lot  better knowledge  of  Internet  than  myself  and was told it  could  buffer  freeze a lot.  That  is why I  posted   latest  messages  as would  throw  TV  out  with rage if it did occur.  I  am using  International   break to  get  DVd  in.

I  will  give it a go  and see  how it  perform  and if  unhappy  I  can upgrade.  So  I   will   take  your advice   for  now  hopefully  all  will  go  well 

Thanks 😇 again for your help

Hi, you can but try, would love to know how you get on with 10 Mbps, would be great if you can report back once you have tried it.

I have used Dvblab 10mb for the past 4 years as stated above to Sligogent.

If you can't accept that then you are very welcome to pop around to mine for a cuppa and watch a live match with me, I'll be there mid October.

For the purist, there is a slight lag to actual ' live ' but you would only know that if you were watching your phone or pad for live scores.

I  appreciate  you  offer of  a Cup  of  tea  to  watch  Football.  But  I  might not  be in a position  to  accept  if  your  advice  is  acceptable.  But  it will  only be single  household  so that  should also help.
