It's not a question of "winning," 0-0. It's one of wishing to see erroneous information stamped out.

Y'know, like "fully semi-automatic" Smile

That was my initial thought as this was during NHL playoffs. But it seems since then he got a new modem and isn't testing right when he wants to watch.

I'm on the edge of a new 100 home development. I had comcast out a couple times to increase the juice and lay better cable to the house during this time of new houses going up over several yrs. I would get the fragmented screen on and off over the last several yrs., occasionally.
Now that the development is about done, things seem to have leveled off, I hope.

Wait,wait. Let me get this straight - you are paying for "up to 60Mbps", and your new modem is testing at 66Mbps, and then you created this thread. Do I have that correct?

Yes. The issue I'm having is not the speed, but the picture freezing, "choppy" stream, etc.

It was more of aside that I mentioned the drop in speed with the new modem.

Not really.

He is correct about contention as the other traffic on a simple home network would not affect much.
He is dead wrong on not eliminating the wi-fi component to verify the modem/ISP connection. Every network technician on earth knows that. There are separate tests for wi-fi throughput. A simple Internet Speed test is not the only answer either.

Additionally to OP is it possible for your ISP throttling you?
(please no net neutrality comments)

Is it possible that the source(having a problem or bandwidth issues of their own) of the streaming is the issue?

Could there be a problem between connections affecting the problem.

The simple HTTP Internet test does not always tell everything you need to know.

Ever try a VPN?
(I have occasional issues with Youtube and this (VPN) has helped me.)


Just some technical food for thought.
