I want to upgrade my current MAG250 box to a MAG4xxx series.

Does anyone on here know where (or indeed if) I might be able to buy one from in TRNC?

Thanks.

You have no chance of getting a MAG box here unless someone is selling one. I upgraded my 250 to a 322 but I had it sent from the UK in a parcel that got through.

Hair Cut, was it worth the upgrade? I have a MAG 256w and am experiencing bad buffering even when down speeds are in excess of 20mb. At this rate I may just drop back to my trusty old Acer RL80 - lol.

In reply to Wddo, yes I think it was worth it and I still have my old 250 in reserve.

I only get buffering when the speed is below 4.

Thanks, will wait till my mate comes from UK (could be a long time away - lol) and he can fetch the latest one for me.

It might not just be your Mag box that's the problem, I have a mag 325 and have been getting really bad buffering for the past couple of weeks. I don't have an answer to help you though. I was told once (not sure how correct it was) that some ISP's here reduce the service to mag boxes. Not sure if this is even possible as I'm a complete technophobe.

Thanks Teatime: my principle reason for upgrading is I want a box that can cope with 4K tv. If it helps with reducing buffering (which has been unusually bad recently) that would be a bonus. I am told that it can. My downloads speeds are usually 15 - 25mbps so pretty good. I suppose I shall have to wait to obtain one from elsewhere.

I thought the very minimum speed for 4K UHD TV is 25mbps.

Yes, it is minimum of 25, my regular download speed is around 25mbps, often 30. Think I can live with it when it drops below 15mbps.
