Yep, that’s right.

Yes I think quite a few of the OFNL ISPs do use the OFNL white-label solution.

Some don't, though. I'm with Merula on OFNL and am going via their own network. Streaming services at peak times have been fine.

I'm assuming they're still using OFNL for backhaul though given their size, so if it's contention between your site and wherever OFNL hands off to ISPs then you'll still see the issue.

MTH are making me boot in safe mode and jump through hoops. The trouble is the speeds are fine, it seem to only affect streaming services. Disney, Amazon, some German TV. As soon as I do a speed test its 100%.

Have you tried via a VPN? It can occasionally help with troubleshooting either ISP throttling or a routing issue. I once cured a (temporary) streaming issue by using a VPN location in Finland.

Can you recommend one that I can configure on a router? Without using apps.
I kind of already proven its not the service or the tv as it woks via 4G.

Hmmm... not really. In my case it was on an Amazon Firestick with IPVanish using their (Android) app. I'm sure others will come along with suggestions. I've not used many commercial VPNs.

That depends on the router!! Those that support OpenVPN can use suppliers such as Nord, or similar.

Or you can use an Andrews & Arnold L2TP service, which doesn't use encryption so isn't a VPN, but provides a different network IP range. (Speeds capped at 200 Mbps)

If you are looking for hardware, the GL.Inet routers work well with OpenVPN based VPNs, and can even support Wireguard (for VPN suppliers like Mullvad and others) if you are so interested.

thank you

I think you want something quick and dirty just as an experiment, to investigate your issue, not a permanent VPN solution which you shouldn't even need.

If you can recreate the streaming issues on an android/ios/mac device then SurfShark offer a 7-day free trial. You use their app and you have to give them your card but they don't charge it for 7-days so you can cancel before then, and even after that there's a 30-day cancel period.

I've used IPVanish too, which has no free trial but does have a 30-day cancellation period.

Having used both of these in the past, I found IPVanish better performing.

Those are the only two I used.

Depends how you feel about signing up for things and then cancelling later I suppose.
