Anybody else having issues with Fox Nation streaming? I seem to have quite a bit of latency, even though I have 385Mbps internet connection. Also noticed that it will not load in Internet Explorer 11, so I have to use Google Chrome.
385Mbps internet connection is pretty slow, you might want to conduct a speed test to see if your getting that.
Hi, IE doesn’t work with a lot of web sites. For example, I can’t watch embedded twitter videos with it. Sadly. I’m an MCSE, too, and unlike most folks here, like Microsoft.
Did you try Edge?
Ha ha! I remember when we got a T-1 in 1996. 1.544 Mbps. For the whole organization. Still, we were in heaven, bandwidth-wize, and strutted our stuff to IT friends who were still using modems...
They couldn’t believe how fast we got to send/receive packets.
385 Mbps isn’t THAT bad.
I doubt that Internet explorer work at all for much of anything anymore. You need to update to edge. Or, settle with using chrome. If you look at stats, 75% of users are using chrome,
Sorry I read your Internet Speed wrong. That speed should be just fine.
385Mbps is slow? You must be 5G.
Why would anyone pay a nickel to watch a network moving it's content steadily into content that's like all the rest of the alphabet cable channels?!?
GMAFB!
Why have an issue with Fox when you can just dump them and stream One America News? OAN IS what Fox pretends to be. No Williams No Smith No Perino No Wallace ect; just people who report the news and don’t hate America.
Do you have your Fake News filter on?
You think 358 Mbps is slow? Jeez what do you get? You can support two 4K streams with 100.
Hehe. I was installing T1s for a telecommunications firm in 1996. X.25, MUXes, terminal servers and Switched 56 too. Boy, those were the days. $2,000/month or so for a T1 if I remember correctly.
And for that $2,000 you got a screaming 1.44 Mbps!
I did try Edge on my Win 10 computer (obviously) and there doesn’t seem to be any latency at all. But with all my Win 7 computers (which are all pretty high performance) I have the streaming latency with Chrome. The inference being that the website maybe fine (verifiable via Edge), but I may have to tweak something in Win 10 or Chrome. Curious is that, so far, the new Fox Nation streaming is the only site with which I am having the latency issue. Things like streaming live TV from Comcast or You Tbe don’t seem to have issues.
Thanks for the feedback.
If I'm right, you're issue with streaming it on Windows 7 might not be an IE vs. Edge vs. Chrome vs. Firefox thing. It might be a matter of upgrading whatever browser(s) you want to stream it through to whatever the latest version(s) is and making sure your Adobe plug-in is installed and enabled.
This is especially true if by "high performance" you mean that some IT professional has taken control of browser version upgrades to make sure your web apps are compatible with the latest versions of the browsers before you get them. I don't do that now, but in my past lives I and my coworkers had web apps for small sets of users who were very picky about things like where things lined up on the screen and such -- which changes a lot by browser and by browser version. The same with things like the sequence of when JavaScript is run by the browser in relation to it rendering a new page on the screen or redrawing a changed page. (That timing issue is often thought of as a "speed issue" by my former users, cuz they wanted what they wanted first while the rest of the page was loading and such.)
I haven't done web apps in a while, so my info might be dated and about as useless as asking a Dim voter for career advice. :)
