Re: Big Brother on Broadband Plus
 
There are a few services on bb plus that are jerky for me, for example vidzone videos are jerky when I play them and on the radio thing it starts and stops all the time, it looks like you do need 1mb for all the service to work 100 %.

It cant be my connection because I use other services like http://launch.yahoo.com/ and that seems to be fine for me.

Are you absolutely sure about that? Because that link you posted, to Yahoo! LAUNCH, appears to have been hijacked by some search site, and unless you copied the link from said search site, it seems possible there's spyware on your PC. I've certainly never seen that happen on this site before. I'd do a thorough search for spyware if I were you, using programs such as AdAware and SpyBot Search & Destroy (both available from www.tucows.net), as this could be causing slow browsing and jerky streaming video.

Any progress on this?

Seems im paying for Broadband Plus but not getting the service advertised :(

Im sure trading standards would have something to say about this :(

I've not been into bb plus for a little while now, my free trial expired!
But I'm on 600, and nothing was jerky at all for me, all the videos & radio streamed down to me nice & smothly, I was very impressed by the quality of some of them.
Still cant decide if I want to pay for it tho, hmmmmmmmmmm

The helpful chappy from NTL Tech support told me set the following into the Proxy Server settings on the LAN settings (connections tab on internet options)

address: 62.252.32.7 port: 8080

and its working perfectly now :D

Yay
Somethings been fixed as mine works fine as well here :)
Not jerky at all and Vidzone is lovely and smooth, might have something to do with 1Meg.

Worth every penny as far as im concerned just for the music sites :)
