Bonne idée mais inutile

Tous mes tests sont non concluants…

What Happened?

App once worked, but now is completely useless.

Please Add PBS Kids and PBS

Great app, but I would like to see more streaming options. I feel as though both PBS and PBS Kids app are throttled and would like to see their results.

Ne fonctionne plus

Ne fonctionne plus… durant un test lapp se bloque.

Attention au test Netflix

Possédant un vidéo projecteur 4K, je souhaiterai pouvoir bénéficier de l’offre correspondante Netflix. Cela ne m’est pas possible sans VPN car j’ai pu constater depuis plusieurs mois du throtteling par Red. Malgré mon option fibre me donnant un débit descendant de 600 mégas (plus ou moins, en fonction de l’heure de la journée). Le test Wehe me donne sur Netflix un débit de 14 mégas (chiffré ou non). En revanche, fast.com me donne entre 6 et 7 mégas. Jamais au dessus. Cela me bridge en full HD avec parfois des sauts en SD.

J’ai testé sur PC, mobile, AppleTV… et pour le moment la seule solution et de passer par un serveur NordVPN me faisant monter à 50, voir 60 mégas !
