So I'm streaming the match yesterday and the feckin thing's rubbish, buffering, pixelating and continually dropping out. I'm ranting at my teenage daughter like a loony, blaming her Snapchat antics. So she brought her iphone down and we did a test to see if turning her phone off helped. Didn't make any difference so I said sorry, off you go.
Wife can hear me railing and cursing so she comes in and we have this conversation :-
WIFE: Why not try my iPad - always faster on youtube etc?
ME: No use love, it's all the same broadband via teh same router
WIFE: Well just give it a try - I'm sure I've noticed an imporovement since i got my iPad
ME: Look darlin, I work it IT - I've got a feckin degree in Comp Sci - I'm a hardcore C++ programmer - I'm telling you it WONT'HELP!
WIFE: Tel me where this stream of yours is and let me try then : I give her the URL :
2 minutes later she hands me her iPad; excellent picture, no buffering, good clarity, good sound. How the f**k is that? As I said, it s using the same broadband so how does this iPad do it. I have had my nose put out of joint as well as having to possibly re-evaluate my cynicism about Apple products :-(
