Imagine LTE Rural Broadband

Anyone have any idea what the issue might be here -

I've set up an Amazon Fire Stick for my brother. He's in a rural area and using Imagine.

Speedtest tells me he gets 63.0mb down and 5.41 up.

But it won't even run IPTV channels in SD. Everything buffers. I've noticed too that when I connect the Fire TV Remote app over wi-fi that it won't hold it's connection from the app to the stick. The problem definitely isn't with the stick - I took it from my own home where it works perfectly.

Anyone got any ideas?

Currently getting ~2Mb down in the Galway area, I wish I never signed up with Imagine.

maybe the iptv requires a vpn to work properly

This method works to get more access points

Thanks Mark, definitely not that - it works perfectly in my house.

Cheers though

Do you have Imagine in you house as well?
Some broadband providers blocking IPTV streams,some not. VPN could solve it if this is the case.

So, I did a little check about that 20GB data daily usage and it seems to check out. Here is an image of my speeds vs usage for the past 7 days.
14th and 15th are strange but I guess it's a mixture of others on my mast not using as much and less speed readings.

It's all well and good introducing this prioritisation but the service becomes unusable, at least for me, when I am affected by it.

Internet has been going to **** for the last few days for me, ping to discord in the thousands, small downloads (of around 50~100mb) running at 2mbps. Random cut-offs too. Mostly all happening between 5pm-1am.

Mine has been erratic too, speeds in general down 30% on normal and a lot of slow downloads. Some buffering on video too which is very unusual.

They were "optimising" the network on Tuesday last according to a text message that I got, afterwards I had the same issue. A router restart fixed it to a degree.

Wing126 · 24-10-2020 08:46PM

My net is completely gone and no signal being received at the router. Anybody else having any issues?

Oafley Jones · 24-10-2020 08:48PM

Just gone there too. Just north of Cork City.

Ohohoho nationwide downtime, some "optimizing" job there lads!

I should have clarified I'm in Meath. So yeah, nationwide down. The **** has happened??

It's funny because I received an email from them today about getting in touch when out of service. Yet can't get in touch when they're closed >.>

Down in North Cork also, seems to be country wide. Is there anybody we can contact at this time about it?

xxyyzz · 24-10-2020 09:11PM

I think it's safe to say it's gone nationwide folks.

Wing126 · 24-10-2020 09:12PM

Not that I can find. Their lines close at 4 on Saturday.
