as it says, its always stuttered before, never seemed to play, the test always failed. but now its streaming fine !? even in fullscreen !?

Im on option 3 BT Broadband and get 6.30Mbps downspeed.

Is this normal or am I seeing things.

Hi, by any chance have you recently uprgraded your BB option. I was was Option 1, my download speed is very similar to yours but when streaming BBC HD it was very jumpy, however I upgraded to Option 3 and now it streams like a dream. Maybe they restrict Option 1 somehow?.

coincidence, yes i upgraded to option 3 from 1.

Maybe its no co-incidence, have a look at the following BBC link regarding streaming restrictions on Option 1. I am pretty sure I tried streaming HD content at non peak times whilst on Option 1 and it still did not work.

having said that tho.

i can stream sky player live and BBC HD at the same time on two different machines and get no problems now even during peak times.

IPTV is a win win here. i think once we get a grip on it and perfect it. then it'll be the way of choice.

I agree about IPTV. I really did not know about such restrictions on Option 1 though, the number of times I tried to get HD to work!.
