Hi.
I use the Pale Moon x64 browser and I run Windows 8 Pro x64. My Flash Player is current. Until today, I had been jumping between en.twitch.tv, bg.twitch.tv, and beta.twitch.tv in order to watch the WoW streams. There were times that a stream would work flawlessly, but if I switched to another stream, it choked up every three seconds. And if I went back to the original stream, it also choked up.
Today, I turned to a VPN and was able to watch WoW streams sporadically. They were fine until tonight. I don't know if it's the LoL tournament that is causing a disruption or what, but it's a complete buzzkill to not be able to watch streams. I mean, I've tried just about everything and then some: a VPN, different Twitch servers, F5, clearing the Flash cache, turning off hardware acceleration -- you name it, I've probably done it.
I should note that I live in eastern Ohio and my ISP is Time Warner Cable. I dealt with a specialist for an hour on the phone and he could find nothing wrong with my modem's download/upload speeds; nevertheless, my modem is four years old and my router is eight years old and I am getting them replaced by Sunday. I have no idea if that'll make an impact on streaming. I had thought by going through a VPN, it would solve the issues -- and it only did for a while.
So what possibly could I do to fix this gross malfunction? Or is the burden on Twitch? On Time Warner? I'm running out of ideas here.
Oh, and I should also note that the choking is occurring on ALL VIDEO RESOLUTIONS. Thought I'd throw that in there...
