I'm having very bad peering issues on AT&T internet when trying to stream my IPTV provider. This provider is located in France. The solution to this appears to be to find a VPN that has a gateway close to my IPTV provider in France. Does anyone know which VPNs terminate, or have their gateway, in France? This would hopefully allow me to bypass the bad peering of AT&T and get a more direct connection to the IPTV server. Thanks.
EDIT #2: Tried PIA, Express, and Premiumize VPN's. None of them worked flawlessly. Switched to NordVPN and it solved all of my peering problems. Perfectly streaming IPTV. If you're on AT&T, it might be worth a try. Apparently, Nord's VPN servers are less congested than some of the other services'.
EDIT: I think found a solution. I did some traceroutes on the IPTV connection, and AT&T routes a lot of their IP traffic through Texas. I'm in the southeast. I switched my PIA VPN to their Texas node, and now the IPTV has no pauses. Without the VPN, getting constant pauses/stuttering, and traceroute was showing multiple trips across the Atlantic and into Canada before finally getting to the server in France. So, if someone else needs a solution, trying something like this might help.
Don't have a solution, but just wanted to mention that's why I left ATT, because of peering with my remote server in a colo. I could sustain a 100mbps with a local cable ISP, but once we switched to ATT I couldn't get above 2mbps (this was in the same location with the same networking gear)
