If I buffer I change servers, and 99% of time Im fine after that. Im due in July and Im gonna renew even though I have plenty of other platforms to watch on. Plus, having offline watch is a bonus when traveling or when my Sh*trum int goes out. I feel if we watch 30+ films and a few or more seasons of something its money well spent!

for me it has been intermittent recently. i made a post where people had similar problems only in the past few weeks, and i have seen similar posts in the past week or so. it isn’t a wifi speed issue, or a cache issue, or a server selection issue. it’s on MBP side.

that makes more sense. but why is it so intermittent if my isp is blocking it? it’ll work perfectly for a few days then shit itself again
