IPTV stutter during Torrent download

by bhuvi100x

Anyone experienced that, I recently upgraded to Fibre 3330/330 and my previous as 75/20 regular DSL - I thought after upgrading, it wont happen, and this is new service, new router etc - I dont get it, are they both sucking the fast speeds, I am looking at QOS, not sure what to do

Could it be that your upload bandwidth might be affecting things? Have you tried throttling either your upload or download bandwidth on the torrents? Are you only linking with encrypted seeds? It might be worth throttling your torrents to work out at which point they start to kill your IPTV. I once had a similar problem and then worked out it was a dodgy cable!

No they aren't both sucking the fast speeds. More than likely your ISP is traffic shaping you, ie throttling your internet, or doing deep packet inspection to see what you are doing. Your service is more than fast enough for what you are doing. IPTV uses 3-5 megabit at max. Or maybe your router just isn't fast enough to handle the traffic load.

Is your box hardwired or wireless? If it's wireless, hardwire it because usually ISP routers suck balls when it comes to wifi.

I experience stuttering when downloading using ftp on every iptv service I have used. I always use a vpn and have 76mb fibre. I find I have to limit the download to under 30mb or my iptv will stutter terribly. Not sure why this is as the iptv never uses more than 15mb. The router has 1000mb network.

Definitely investigate QoS if your router has that built in. There are other firmware options (Ex. DD-WRT) but I only recommend that route if you consider yourself quite tech savvy.

Do a speed test here: https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest

Watch the category “bufferbloat” or “realtime” (depends if you’re on mobile or desktop which name they show). You want that to be below 100ms, the lower the better. That is a direct reflection of whether or not QoS will help. If bufferbloat is high, QoS will almost definitely help.

Ya used DDWRT and Tomato but Merlin is very good on Asus, still testing diff QOS techniques
