I am having the exact same problem with freezing. As for old and new versions of BBO, whatever comes up when I hit the shortcut is what I'm using.
#OLD MACBOOK KEEPS FREEZING PC#
I am new to BBO and also new to the Apple community, having just bought a MacBook Air, as a second computer (always been a PC person). Well, maybe I can add some additional comments. We'll keep an eye on this and check soon. But since everyone is away at the nationals we may not be able to do anything about it right now. Is this a recent thing (in the past few days)? I have heard a few other BBOers indicate there may be some problems during peak hours recently and uday was informed yesterday. So what has changed? QuantumCat's type of connection? Activity in Australia? Does an iPad do better? Was the problem during some intense BBO activity from Australia/NZ?

If it were that simple, then tournaments in Australia would simply be impossible.Įven if Australia - US bandwidth is lower, the complaint is that it has gotten worse on both clients, not that it is bad. I do not know what type of protocol the two clients use, but it would have to work without the benefit of a CDN realistically anyway, since the content is dynamic, not static, like a video, and the 4 seats at a table can all be players from different continents. However, the voice *might* be streaming on an HTTP connection.

Voice has a much higher bandwidth requirement than passing a bid, or play between two end-points. For example, Voice on Vugraph works quite nicely even when commentators are in Europe. I do not find this explanation persuasive. Internet connectivity between Australia and the US can be quite slow at times. YouTube, like many other major Internet services (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.), makes use of a worldwide network of servers (called a Content Delivery Network, see here), so you're using a server in Australia.īBO doesn't currently use a CDN. There's a big difference between YouTube and BBO.
