I'm guessing it's a Unifi issue in your area.. Watched Netflix earlier and had no issues ramping up to or playing at FHD non-stop.. Just checked and this is my result on TIME ISP.


Also, notice that your TV's check threw an error... That code points at a Network connectivity issue. Trouble reaching Netflix's servers properly..

This unifi still pointing to tmspeed test website and conclude result is fine so no issue. Nearby server test giving good result but when play netflix speed drops. They seems reluctant to take further action. 10 days after complain still no action.

something v wrong with the speed.

if u dun get such poor speed with other devices, it may be yr TV problem.
do u get good or poor speed with TV youtube, other apps?

new smart TV's typically come with non-gigiabit 100mbps ethernet but can be faster with AC wifi if it has it.
that page in netflix, my TV shows 185mbps with wifi using google DNS - all is good.

1st 2months i subscribed i always monitor the speed in netflix app consistently get 90mbps but not 100mbps. (Rj45 connection)
As u said i did tested before via unifi 5G it goes to 103mbps.
I was in doubt why cable cannot reach 100mbps then i changed cable still same.
So like you said now i knew its maybe tv port nongigabit.

The recent intermittent speed in netflix just observed lately. Since end of june.
Playing youtube seems ok.
Streaming movies from tv web browser, it plays but there is buffering here and there compared last time smooth loading.

I do test in various speedtest websites.

Ookla Speedtest.
TM speedtest - this always above 70%
SpeedOf.Me.
TestMy.net. - this seems reliable
Fast.com

What else i can do ?

try:

1. use wifi 5ghz, not rj45.

2. use static IP, google DNS.

3. try with a diff router... in many cases, the culprit is the cheap stock router.
poor routers tend to hv unstable connection, less than optimal speed and other strange problems.

In addition to what AVFAN has suggested.. Use a different device and test it's speeds to Netflix's servers. Same or different from that of the TV?

there is a tv series available on netflix... Diriliş: Ertuğrul

started in 2014... season 5 just completed... but only first 4 seasons in netflix... i hope season 5 will come soon.

a very long drawn historical fiction drama-thriller.

every season is >70 epis long, 42 mins per epi.

i'm done with season 1, 2... boy, it was long... but interesting enough.. will continue.


factual history has little record of the main character Ertugrul... but it is great to watch how he was depicted in the 13th century.

a time when the turkmen tribes of anatolia (current day turkey) were under siege from the byzantine empire in the west and the mongols in the north.

the perils of betrayal, spies, infighting vs the strengths of loyalty, heroism, spiritual strength.

of course, we know the ottoman empire eventually emerged to change the landscape of the east-west wars over territory and jerusalem for the next few hundred years.

then, WWI, WWII... and what we see today in modern turkey.

an interesting way to catch up with history if u like.... i'm not a historian but i can follow much of what is being shown and illustrated in this series.

apparently it has been the most followed tv series on central asia and the middle east.

a recommendation to anyone interested in turkish-central asian history. 3.5/5.

While it interests me.. However, 70 episodes per season?

is that a soap opera or what so long one hahahha

just finish S3 the heist, niceeeee
pls pls launch S4 ASAP

from netflix... Dirilis Ertugrul...

s1 76 epis
s2 103
s3 91
s4 90

some sources list the seasons as <30 epis each.... maybe these are 90-100 min ones.

netflix hasn't got the deal to air season 5 yet but.

i take my time to watch them, no rush.

i find it better than many other crap shows!

Indeed!
Can't wait for S4 too.
Real pity if Nairobi is not in S4

somehow I think the ending would be some kena tangkap, more dead, gold some how ended up with the people
the alive ones being label as heroes but no chance to spend the money dy

if not this series macam turn robbers or terrorist into good guys, and police n gov become bad ppl hahahahaha

340 long episodes and Season 5 isn't even put yet.. .. Normally I try to avoid trailers. But for this, have to.. Cuz once I start, I typically must finish.

Finally the technician arrived to check my unifi quality. They fixed tester at my end and at dp box. According to them my signal loss very low. That means fiber cabling perfectly done.
Surprisingly at noon i did speedtest infront of them about 5 times all result hit 90Mbps.
According to them even though its broadband we still sharing with rest subscribers, if users get increased the bandwidth utilization become higher and we see drops.

Basically the broadband is not dedicated line. If TM allocate 2Gbps for the exchange it will be shared to rest of the users.

So no solution unless more complains on low speed due to insufficeint of bandwidth, TM need to increase.




Im watching "Moneyheist" which i got addicted now. What i noticed is the series stated as 4k ultra HD. But when play it the resolution is always 3.83mbps/1080.
I quickly checked other 4k content all stops at 15+mbps.
I wonder why moneyheist just stops at 1080 when the content stated as 4k.
I reported to netflix not to put wrong info..
Can you guys play that series and check if seeing same as me.
It plays in 1080 or 2160..

It played in 2160p when I finished watching S3 last week.
For S1 and S2, IIRC also played in 2160p but I watched them when they were aired few months back

1080p should be more like 6-7 mbps.

yr connection does seem weak since u dun get certain shows in 4k (assuming u pay for 4k pack).

really, u need to test connection speed with other devices - box, pc - with ethernet , wifi... to be sure it is not just TV netflix issue.

for 100mbps nominal, most routers can give full 100 with ethernet and >50mbps wifi.

Question: if I bought Netflix gift card off 7eleven, is the value applicsble to just one-off payment?
E.g. gift card worth RM100
deduct family plan for July RM51.
So will there be a remaining balance or will it be gone?

I tested the connection in my laptop and handphone via wifi 5g
Seems ok. Playing netflix in PC or handphone doesnt now the content playing in what video rate. I believe must be 1080p.
Do speedtest from Pc or hp seems fine as well. Streaming no buffering.

Just in TV NETFLIX APP, we can see video rate right ?
Other 4k content can play in 2160 in 15.xx Mbps rate. But this moneyheist just playing in 1080p make me confuse. Why its not happening to other 4k content ?

Cracking head

looks like comes to netflix, yr connection speed weakens - that is seen with 1080p speed u get and not able to get 4k for some shows.

given what u said so far, i suggest u check further on the netflix device, i.e. yr TV.

possible u need new firmware to get rid of certain bugs... do check with users of same TV, the manufacturer website or helpline.

some TV's, w/o firmware updated, Netflix won't even run!
