Streaming issues

Streaming Issues

I'm having a similar problem. I've been a user for years now and have streamed hundreds of shows from the site. This is new, and it's the same on my iPad, iPhone, and desktop Windows PC (which would rule out being only an ios issue). The show loads, then buffers, then loads, then buffers. If I let it load for 30 minutes or so, I can get through about half the show before the cycle continues. I have a 6 Mbps connection and was able to stream for years without problems at 3 Mbps, and until a month or two ago, I could stream wonderfully from VIP on both devices. I can still stream without interruption from Amazon, Hulu, etc., so it's not a cache problem, connection speed, or device issue. I tried today from my work PC thinking it might be my ISP that was throttling my connection speed. The show loaded very rapidly at work (28 Mbps connection), so I thought it might be my home connection, but if my speed were throttled at home, it would also affect the other streaming sites which are downloading very rapidly. I've seen a couple of people mention this problem, but I haven't seen anyone post a solution yet. I could be missing something simple, so any ideas are appreciated.
