Jamkazam is amazing but I'm still trying to get the best connection possible. Some advice please!I thought FTTN uses fiber optics, not copper wires as in the old telco technology. Check to see if either of you is using DSL (internet through copper telco pairs). JK doesn't work that well (high latency) via DSL.
Question 1 - My 'Audio Bw Tx' is red, showing as 143k. So my audio is glitchy on the other side, to my friend. How can I improve this? It should not be my internet connection as I have cable internet with approx 30mbs upload. I am also connected via LAN cable as is my friend. Are there any settings in JamKazam that can improve this? I've tried setting the outgoing audio stream from 256k, to 320k to 512k but it had no effect.
Question 2 - the internet latency is about 8oms between my friend and me. WE are both on LAN and about 200km from each other, in Victoria, Australia. I've done a dslreports speed test and I think its because my friend has high 'buffer bloat'. We are in Australia and he is connected on a 25mbs/5mbs 'FTTN' plan which uses copper wires in the network. I am assuming the actual internet connection may be the issue there. Any idea how to fix? Could perhaps a new router with QoS somehow help?
Thank you!
Dave.

That is my experience as well here in NL.
I found there to be significantly more 'jitter' on cable (COAX/TV) connections as opposed to copper or fiber.
So speeds and stability are not the issue on cable but there seems to be more 'noise' (jitter). I've stopped investigating since we're being hooked up to fibre/fiber (glass) any day now (and can't wait ;-))
