400 Mbps connection, all other streaming apps flawless, but Netflix on the £12 a month 4k account looks like arse, has been on and off all week!

Anyone else?

Downdetector is showing a bit of a spike so its probably some kind of problem be it just load or actual equipment issues etc.

Thanks for that, it was a bit baffling as everything else is fine. I wonder if poor weather is a factor?

100mb connection, HD only, wife was complaining it was 'spinning' when buffering more than usual (Virgin Router) and grainy.

All fine here.

But we are in America and generally get treated better!

You've got that right, I've never had a problem with streaming anything, anywhere in America.

Rubbish again tonight. Watching 6 Underground and I've had to stop as it was pixilated, 320mbps on a speed test!

Not had any problems through sky or 4K through the tv app.

But if it makes you feel any better my YouTube app has been patchy for the last two days through the tv.

Very lousy again tonight.

Flickering, fuzzy and sound out of sync. Prime again is perfect. Netflix can't cope with peak traffic it seems!
