Why is NETFLIX always interrupting, telling you they are having trouble with a title,

continually buffering? It's impossible to watch anything all the way through. Trying Bloodline this evening, and it's non-stop "We're having trouble playing this title right now. Please try again later or select a different title."

What kind of service is that?

1. What message would you rather have, "our service sometimes sucks"? I am not sure if their public

relations would go through that

[mainstreetonce]

2. Call them

I find them pretty responsive.

3. They're letting you know that it's not them but your internet service provider that's causing

the problem.

They're probably right.

4. Ok, thanks. That makes sense. We don't have cable TV, but internet for computer and TV.

It's US Internet. Probably one of the worst.

9. That's who you should complain to first.

Netflix can give you corroborating information, but that's where the problem is; the ISP wants to convince you to get cable.

11. You could try running a speed test on your internet to see if you are getting the

speed that you are paying for. Don't use the test provided by your ISP though Just google 'speed test' then try a couple of different ones. Also, bear in mind that demand for bandwidth goes up during prime time, so that's when you should do your speed test. If you aren't consistently getting the speed you are paying for, call your ISP and set up a service call to check out why not.

Someday I'll tell the story of my problems with Time-Warner a few years back that resulted in 14 service calls over the course of about 3 months until they finally sent a guy who understood networking and not just how to change out the connector at the end of a cable

5. I'd bet it's your ISP. I have zero trouble

And I have 3 kids using it also, often simultaneously

[RandySF]

6. That's rare.

Maybe demand for House of Cards and Orange is the New Black?

7. Are you streaming through a blue-ray?

Once in a while it will seem to have trouble loading something but the only time I had a situation like you describe was when my player needed updating.

Go to settings and see if there are any updates you need to download it may help.

8. I have zero problems with Netflix streaming. I'd blame your local provider if I were you. n/t

10. I watched BLOODLINE s3ep5 tonight no problem... I called last year -tip try using Chrome... n/m

12. Netflix has been very reliable for me.

As others have noted it's probably your ISP, or maybe something wrong with the system on your end.

When our kids were living at home and their friends were over they'd often saturate our medium speed DSL connection. I'd get irritated and limit the bandwidth available to our wireless guest service, then they'd convince me they "needed" full bandwidth for some reason, and the cycle would repeat.

Most routers these days will allow you to set up a single connection as a multimedia device, giving that one device priority over all other connections.

For example, here's how to do it on a Lynksys router:

13. I use Netflix all the time. Never get a buffering notice. Could be your internet service.
