So it does not matter
what reliability your broadband has if the system falls apart
internationally then.
On some of the free online channels on my samsung TV despite a fast
internet connection, and it being up close to the router, on some channels you get this drop out and it might happen several times while you watch a program.
Intriguingly, in the main it does not affect the program at all, it tends to be just as the ad breaks start or during them, as if the ads were coming from a different server with a poor bandwidth or different routing. Has anyone else encountered this.

With much of the working population currently working from home and the pandemic
plus the winter weather encouraging more use of mobiles and home computers for
entertainment, the internet usage has more than doubled according to some reports in the press.
This is bound to make queues for packets awaiting
transmission on the busiest links.
This is most noticeable on popular services such as Youtube videos. At busy times the almost unwatchable because of the duration of all the pauses, and I don't bother with the stream as it arrives, I let it get to end then play it again from the browser cache.
Videos from "newspaper" websites are the ones that I find buffer for ever, I assume they are bandwidth started at the server-end.
