Hello all,

I am using la fibre and there is no buffering problem while streaming both on TV, Laptop and Mobile phone so far. I am just a little disappointed with the movies and TV shows available because there's no wide range (that's my personal opinion). The quality is not HD but it's not that bad (rate 6/10).

Kind regards,
Shelly

Hello MIU,
I tried Netflix using my 512k internet connection. I watched around 5hours of a TV Show and encountered almost no buffering at all. I would say a total of 2-3 minutes of buffering for the entire five hours. The video quality was not HD. But it wasn't bad at all. I would compare it to the 480p that youtube offers.
Honestly, I am pleasantly surprised that Netflix streaming works so well on 512k internet connection I am using.
Thanks and Regards, RAMGOLAM Sandeep

Hello,
This is great news. But is it really?
Two features of interest come to mind with this announcement :
1. Internet Speeds in Mauritius2. Download capping in Mauritius imposed by ISPs
Internet Speeds in Mauritius
Many users still do not have a fibre connection, myself for example. I am stuck with a 512k internet connection. It would be interesting to know what is the minimum requirement to stream on Netflix from Mauritius. I will test that today.
Download capping in Mauritius imposed by ISPs
For the lucky ones whose geographical location grant them access to Myt LaFibre, we should not forget that there are very strict capping. Around 75GB for 10mbps I believe. Usage of streaming services such as Netflix will hit their download limit very hard I believe (it is mostly video content after all). I wonder if these users will still be able to enjoy streaming for more than a few days even if they have access to fibre connections?
