DreamLink T2 - Bandwidth

by munda04

My dad got the T2 to replace his satellite. The issue is that it's using a massive amount of bandwidth. I have a 1024GB limit from Xfinity, and this is the first time I have crossed that. Usage last month was 600gb, this month I will hit around 1100-1200GB.

Is there a way to limit the number of channels it buffers? I notice "EPG loading" in the corner of the screen all the time. Even when the device is off its using a bit of bandwidth. He only watches a handful of channels (literally under 10 channels)

Make sure the device powers completely down and does not go into standby mode. Something doesn't sound right because I run multiple boxes that go into standby mode when not in-use. I use my net connection a lot and I have never gone over my cap. Something to consider would be getting the data cap removed.

Yeah, for IPTV you will want to get an unlimited bandwidth plan, even if its a bit more money. Data limits are easily surpassed with higher bitrate streams running for long periods of time.

Try changing the settings to use 720p resolution instead of 1080p.
