Actually. I will not gonna lie... corporate network creation is my territory...
But please explain to me, why I have a crap shadow streaming experience on my long holiday? I mean.. I live in England... I come to home Hungary visit my little family... My family has 2000+ mbs internet here... but the lovely shadow cannot provide 20megs from their servers.... it's just not adding up...
Even if I try to connect to French servers I have better download and latency numbers...
so what is this service for 30 bucks?
I don't know guys but I'm very sad. My family going to sleep... I planed to play some CP while they sleeping and I have a crap quality here... and it's not because my local provider.. it's because shadow can't provide proper upload speed.

So is the issue the bitrate for the stream?

#

So for example you set to 70Mbps and it only goes to 20?

#

Screenshot of the Quick Menu stats would be handy (set to last 10 mins after doing stuff on shadow that will up the bandwidth usage)

I have serious spikes... 70Mbps is my default settings all time... I never had problem with that at home. Here is screenshot:

Well holy packet loss.. No doubt due to distance being in Hungary right now.

#

Best to find the source.

But most time I have no issue with this.. just at this time of the evenings.

Peak time congestion no doubt.

#

And do you have an idea what is the peak time of the Shadow? Around?

#

In the area you're at

#

Being in a non supported country right now, unless the packet loss is at the Shadow, there's nothing you can do about it. Support won't look at the routing etc.
