8,600 PointsAt least a DSL connection is recommended (around 5Mbps+), but there are other factors that can reduce quality and performance, such as your location from the content delivery network node, ISP throttling, or uneven packet throughput that works fine for data, but can cause some buffering issues for a streaming service.
If you have a reasonable internet speed and you're experiencing buffering, there's a good chance the issue could be CDN related. You can always use our download option to download videos for offline viewing, as well as using our standard quality option under Downloads and launching that into a new tab within your browser.
