I posted this question in the Network thread but it didnt get answered. Is this normal? Its really annoying and not worth the £9.99. I was watching starcade 92 and after every few minutes or so the match will freeze and then start again after a few moments. Driving me mad.

Are you watching the Network on a 64k dial-up modem?

This happened to me last night while watching Unforgiven 08. Turned out it was my internet. I had to reset my modem a few times.Otherwise, doesn't happen often.

It happens every now and then. It was Miles and miles and miles worse back when it was still new.

One of the main attractions of the network is the back catalogue of ppv's yet we cant even watch them without these interruptions. How does that warrant anyones £9.99? This was the last thing I was expecting

And this is why I am glad that in Canada it's on a TV station, cause I hate streaming and seeing the video pause on the internet.

its buffering, leave it a little while and alter your internet so the network is the only thing running

It happens to me every once in a while, but nothing noteworthy.
What kind of download speeds are you getting from your setup? Are you running hard-wired over ethernet, or over WiFi? What kind of device are you using? All big factors.

When im hard wired theres not a blip, but dealing with WiFi i always have quality drops. Not much freezing.

Since my modem/router is in my room, I'm going to try hard wiring my connection to my PlayStation 3 to see if that does work.

this has been happening to me for the last 3 weeks or so. everything ran perfectly for me from late august til the beginning of February. now, I can't watch any of the VOD stuff without some freezes and drop in picture quality.
that said, my cable company, who I get my internet through, said a few months ago that I needed to get an upgraded modem as they were updating and improving their services, and that my current,older modem wouldn't be working well for much longer, and I know they upgraded the actual cable TV services on February 10th, so that could be the issue for me. I'll know next Wednesday for sure when they install the new modem.

That happens to me whenever I watch it on my Xbox so sometimes I just watch it on the computer instead.

I'd scoot over to speedtest.net and run a quick test to see what kind of speeds you're pulling down over WiFi, if nothing else, you could at least rule the speed factor out. In general, I've found that larger streaming services are more likely to perform better than WWE Network on a less than stellar connection, so having a number will give you, me and others an idea as to whether or not that should be ruled out. Because WWE doesn't have nearly the server capacity as someone like Netflix, sometimes the hiccups on their end.

Because WWE doesn't have nearly the server capacity as someone like Netflix, sometimes the hiccups on their end. was just going to post this. while some of the issues, no doubt, are on our end, I have a hard time believing some of it is not server issues on WWE's end. for example: today, at around 4:00 PM, watched last night's NXT show - flawless, perfect picture, no issues. right after it, put on WrestleMania III - got about 30 minutes in, freezes started, picture quality issues, etc. got about halfway through,then quit. put on the WrestleMania Then ,Now, and Forever special ( mainly cause I thought it was something else) - perfect video quality, no issues. after that was done, put on Saturday Night's main Event - not even 5 minutes in, you guessed it, freezing and picture quality distortion. now, if it's an issue with my internet speed, bandwidth, etc., then WHY would I only have issues with some programs on there, and not with others? I literally haven't been able to watch a WCW show - ANY WCW show -since the beginning of February. and the Live stream always works perfectly. if there was an issue on my end, wouldn't the Live Stream have issues too? I've heard rumors to the effect that WWE fluctuates the amount of server space used from time to time between the Live Stream and the VOD section. like sometimes they'll give more server space to the Live stream and less to the VOD section, sometimes the reverse, sometimes an equal amount of server space for both, etc. and since February is a free trial month, they've given more space to the Live Stream, believing most new subscribers will use that plus the live PPV's. so if the VOD section already has less server space, then add on top of that not only people using the free trial promotion, and the recent additions of more new subscribers over in the UK and Ireland, and you could potentially have the reason behind the increase in freezes and picture quality issues. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the quality improve next month as the number of free trial subscribers drops off. but it IS something WWE needs to look at and invest in for the future, getting more server space.

Do you have DSL or Cable? DSL is typically too slow for most video streaming services.
