Issue: when running videos on Facebook / Insta / Google on mobile at times, the video stalls mid way through and sometimes completely fails.
On wired connection (PC/TV) very long (up to 20s) before the videos start.
Setup:
Am with Spintel in WA. Apparently they now have POPs over here now too.
Plan is 1000/20 on FTTP.
DNS has been tested on google as well as cloudflare
Router: TP Link Archer BE800, 2.4, 5 and 6ghz bands wifi 7.
PCs connected with hard ethernet
Tests:
Pings to google are rather shit (30 on a good day 65 on a bad day)
Local network issue eliminations: Plex and VLC do not stutter when running off local NAS.
Have also run network in "idiot mode;" run an alternative router profile with new Wifi network name and no other hard connections other than PC; problem persists, despite speedtest and pings all being within acceptable limits.
[eliminates issues with "smart lights, alexa/google home/homeassistant and nas/homelab misconfigurations and stupid mistakes].
In short: why do the video gods hate me and what can I do to diagnose futher as it seems to potentially be an ISP issue and not local network.
