Seriously, IPTV - get a stream from one of about 5 or 6 providers. $79 android tv box and $15 a month for 3000 channels and unlimited tv series built in. Also if you only want TV shows and movies, pay the $79 for an android box and the Morpheus app with Trakt tv signed in. FREE monthy costs

Quoted from RonSS:

Does this get BeIn Sports? Gotta have my motorcycle racing!

There's about 50 BEIN sports channels in my guide, many are repeat and back up channels.

It has BEIN Sports HD & Channels 1 - 10

Pros are pretty much every tv series and channel ever.

The cons to the IPTV would be possible freezing, its not 100% awesome all the time. I thought the sports wouldn't be as smooth a pic as it ended up. All UFC fights appear in the guide on Saturday when they are live. You need a decent internet speed, but that's not always it, the server other end could be what gets you though. Bang for your buck, nothing compares. NHL centre ice, NFL channels, everything.

I find that if you buy a decent consumer router with wifi, expect it to work fine for 2-4 years tops, then buy a new one. They don't have long lasting power. Think, it's producing a radio signal non-stop for years, time to swap out!

I work directly with the equipment in the telecom industry. That would be a tough rig to get 100meg out of copper pr. You'd get more from coax.
With an isam (Nokia 7330 office eqpmt) you would need under a 900m loop length to get 25 meg with a 70meg ceiling (needed anyway) Companies are "bonding" pairs using two and putting them into a single modem to get 50meg on a copper pr.

Quoted from GGG:

I am also in telecom, I resell quite a few vendors different offerings. many ISP’s in rural areas offer excellent quality bonded VDSL with speeds 80-100MB. In the metro areas, DSL is being replaced by Fiber. But even with fiber, the speed and latency is most always choked to the home by the weak T-1 backhaul circuits feeding the neighborhood cabinets, PON’s & DSLAM’s.

Every inernal and external isam cabinet we run is fed by fibre, so nothing slows neighborhoods down. and we are slowly turning everything into FTTP (fibre to the prem)
I am literally tossing in new bays to install new fibre 7360's to get ready for FTTP in my community, which is awesome.

I know many of you are too straight arrow or just don't want to go to this place. (maybe you speed while driving so prob breaking the rules already
Vader Streams has every game of every sport on in their Matchcenter area and also every channel you would ever want.

#256 5 years ago

I didn't

A couple of the streaming sites do, one had a pay service called "circle pay" . I didn't even have access to that service here.

*edit. - I used paypal and the provider I paid, makes it looks like a server rental provider.
