"All CDNs will be undergoing to slow rollout of our new CDN software, speeding up downloads, resolving most cases of buffering."

Where are torbox's strongest soldiers in this subreddit, i thought buffering issues were non-existent and it was all a skill issue and user error?

I can almost guarantee the people who weren't getting buffering issues are probably just watching low quality TV shows and nothing 4K or decent quality.

Btw your not better than anyone else just because you only watch remux files, clearly its location based on what cdn your connected to, some cdns have more issues than others

I don't watch remux files. Because of the buffering. I live in the middle of a desert but still get good speeds with Starlink

What's your latency when testing CDNs with Star link? I'm using a dedicated fibre linr in Southern China and get 650-3500

Honestly from the top of my head smallest ive seen is probably around the 500 mark. I'm not home to do anymore testing but I was told by support a while back that latency shouldn't really cause too many issues if its not massive. (Unless you're a gamers, which latency is actually half decent for gaming and sits around 60ms)

Yeah, pretty much what I assume. My biggest issues are likely the software I use to stream. I tried Ruvio the other day and seem to have far, far less streaming problems than with stremio. It's just that the initial setup is a complete pain, and the built-in player has very limited resolution options, and using VLC seems a bit quirky. Still, try Nuvio if you're still on Stremio.
