Hello you amazing support team, techs, pretty much everyone from TPG have been so tremendously patient and helpful. As discovered months ago and denied by Nbn over multiple faults lodged, the last tech noted the issue was at the node.
I have many unpleasant thoughts toward Nbn.co however TPG are so ** good. Thank you all again.

Hi Treffo 

How did you sort the issue i am having the identical issues good for a while and then very flaky. I have worked out its when i start streaming or gaming it crashes. I am starting to think it is TPG shaping our speeds.

Hi @alakev,

Welcome to the community!

The sync speed issue raised on this thread is caused by the fault found on the pillar which has been fixed by an NBN Technician.

• What Online Game do you stream?
• How long you've been streaming this game?
• Is this the first time you encounter this issue?

If your Games Crashes during Streaming; it is nothing to do with your internet connection's performance, hence the capability of the computer to stream or to handle the load of software being used during streaming.

If you're having issues with the internet it should affect the quality of your streaming and the latency of the Online Game itself.

Can you post a screen shot of the error message (when the game crashed)  together with the latency of the online game for additional reference?

I will wait for your response.

Cheers!

Overall the internet is very up and down worse than my adsl 2. i am using a powerline extender which should be more stable but after about 20minutes of watching a show it buffers and my powerline light goes red which indicates the internet speed has dropped below 6mbs. then it buffers like a timer around 30sec on and off

Hi @alakev,

Thanks for the additional details. For us to identify what speed you're getting on your connection is it possible for you to run a speed test using a desktop/laptop connected via LAN/Ethernet Cable?

I assume all your device(s) is connected via Wi-Fi / Wireless Connection. We did an article on how to improve your wireless connection available here.

I will wait for your response, let me know how it will go.
