Hi chaps,

Netflix has started to suddenly become slow, buffering every five minutes. It was fine a few weeks ago, but for the last week or so its been a PITA.

Download speeds are good generally, iPlayer through the same device is fine on HD with no buffering.

I've tried a few devices and changed the playback settings from auto to medium, to stream at a constant speed.

Anyone else having issues? As it feels like a server issue not a client issue.

Cheers

Ricks

Are you using Google's/Open DNS? It can [url= http://apcmag.com/why-using-google-dns-opendns-is-a-bad-idea.htm/ ]cause a problem[/url] with Akamai which Netflix uses

I haven't used it in a few weeks but it was suffering from dropping out of HD while watching House of Cards. was happening fairly often.
didnt think it was local or my connection as speeds were rock solid (100mg line with virgin) and using it via TiVo so not even using normal internet bandwidth (separate modem in the TiVo box).

Fine for me over a VPN (local programming on Netflix is a bit haphazard)
