Does Time Warner cable throttle or reduce the speed when one does a lot of streaming? I have standard internet. Speed test results are pretty consistent at around 15Mbps
I have singed up with a streaming service provider (played from my sony blu-ray player) for Indian channels. For the first few days, everything was great. Then I notice that it buffers a lot in only in the evenings.
When I spoke to their tech support, they had me run a trace route to their server and also WinMTR and said one of the hops in between is slow/even lossy. They asked me to talk to my ISP and share the results.
Will Time Warner be responsible if some hop in-between is slow/lossy? I don't know who's at fault here. I'll try to post the trace route/WinMTR results here. Thx

Good luck with that.
Streaming at night in my neighborhood is iffy and we have TWC business class.

I think it is funny how when your internet is all bogged down, then you run a speed test and BAM, snappy as can be!
I have problems pretty frequently with Netflix also. "no one" is throttling, "everyone" at each end is paying for bandwidth, and yet, it doesn't work like it should.
I noticed a big drop in speed yesterday; images started loading incrementally instead of all at once. Haven't run a speed test yet, but I've been getting about 10mbps.
I just wonder if, now that the popularity of streaming has really taken off, the issue of net neutrality will appear higher on the radar and get better consumer awareness. Last time I checked most of the politicians who opposed it didn't even really understand what the term meant.
