G'day
Whenever I watch iView it goes well for a very short while then gradually degrades to the point where I'm watching it in single frame mode. Quite often it gets a stumble while the sound keeps going as normal but the video freezes while it catches up. At that point the sounds repeats itself (the last few seconds). The video will often go out of focus (really low resolution). When it gets really bad even the sound becomes interrupted.
When I pause it, the audio stops immediately but the video keeps freeze framing until it catches up and then pauses.
I have tried right clicking and selecting low quality but it makes nil difference.
Yesterday i observed that there was a message coming up a few times saying it was waiting for cache. "AHA!" says I, I'll increase the cache for Firefox (google was my friend for that). So I increased it from Automatic to first 512 and then 1024mb for cache. That seemed to work really well.....for a few minutes (longer than before at least), and then it was back to the same old scene.
I get the same problem when using Google Chrome (the suggested fix for the cache on that was rubbish - didn't allow it).
I would have thought that ADSL 2+ would have been able to cope with iView. Speedtests indicate about 8-10mbps download speed (yeah I know, it's rubbish but it should still be enough).
The laptop is about 7 years old, 32gb solid state hardrive, dual core processor, 2.8 ghz speed, so all that should be enough, even though it's a little bit old now.
Windows XP.
The modem often has nil blinking lights and that seems to be when the slowdown occurs. That might work one of two ways - the modem (5 years old) is crap and isn't allowing traffic, or it's need being called upon to run any traffic.
During the evening it's the worst, so I guess that indicates higher local traffic through ADSL 2+ could be the problem?
The video card in the laptop perhaps? I didn't get a gaming type card, but it was reasonably large (no idea now what the capacity is though).
Any help to resolve this (if it can be before NBN hits town next decade) will be much appreciated!
