Netflix - is not being able to watch a programme in full usual?

[dikul]

The title says it all. I have a rock solid 63-65 meg connection on Infinity 2, yet if I want to watch anything it always stops, then buffers up to 25% and then sits there for some time before resuming the programme, if I'm lucky. Often I end up with a message from Netflix saying there is no network connection, I mean the fact that I am posting this would seem to indicate that this is a fib.
Is this the best that I can expect from Netflix?

The 25% issue seems to be a general Netflix problem for some  -  often reported on TiVo and I've had it on my PD3

Ozsat, thanks for the reply.
Whooppee doo, BT pushing a problem product, ho hum!

Hi

One of the first things to try is to turn off the box and after 20 seconds restart it; this clears any buffering issues the box may be having.

I have gone through the process outlined on the you view site and, having reset the box and the home-hub, I managed to get (eventually) Netflix and the other players back on line. I got to the end of the film I was watching with only one bout of stopping, 25% and getting going again.

It really must be isolated to certain users unfortunately. I'm on Infinity 2, about 65-70Mbps, and Netflix gets used A LOT in my house. I've never had one buffer/stutter/ dropout. Playback starts almost instantaneously and always runs flawlessly. So BT are defnitely not pushing a problem product!

How is your box connected to your Router?

Is that directed at the OP or me? I'm connected directly by cable to my HH5!

Hi there

The box is currently connected via Powerline adaptors.  I have tried usung a longer ethernet cable (temporarily because I cannot limbo dance the way I used  to do) but get the same results.  All other players and the BT entertainment channels on the internet work flawlessly.
