What internet speed do I need to run CaboInterneTV programming
You need a minimum of 2Mbps (steady stream). We run landline testing 5-8Mbps flawlessly. Our servers are geared to handle slower connections. PING needs to be below 70 for landline. Fiberoptics and wifi can be higher PINGS.
To test your connection we recommend visiting www.speedtest.net Test your connection 5-7 times to get and average speed. Please test from your device or using a cell phone or laptop wifi near the streaming device. Testing at different distance than your device will give a different reading. As in if the device is in another room. The walls can be playing a factor in the wifi strength.

Testing your wifi connection

First check you internet connection by using www.speedtest.net Test the connection 5-7 times and you want a steady speed above 2 Mbps with a PING below 70. (the lower the ping the better)
Make sure you are testing the internet near your device if its using wifi. The distance can effect the speed.
Testing from a cell phone is fine but you need to do this near your device.
Wifi distance is a main factor in testing the wifi for the first time. You may think its close but the signal that distance or around a wall could be effecting the signal strength.

Telcel router is buffering

Make sure your on a 4G Telcel signal, test your download speed. We have tested and found hard wired with ethernet Telcel routers work better. We have also seen the same buffering at speeds as low as 2Mbps to 76 Mbps. We are still testing to figure out the issue with these routers. But for the time being hardwire seems to make a huge difference.

Netflix and YouTube play fine but Cabo CabointerneTV buffers.
Both services have auto resolution. Click settings on what you are watching to see what resolution it's playing at. 1080 down to 140. Cabointernetv only plays at 1080 or 720. If your speed is bad and below 720 then it will buffer. This can happen rapidly. So one speed test doesn't find this issue. You need to test until you see the drop. Sometimes it takes 20 tests to see it.
