Anyone else suffered with this ?
That sounds like the bandwidth dropping and recovering. We used to get similar on Netflix at our old house where our 4G internet connection could vary in speed quite wildly. I’m surprised you’re getting it on a VM connection though, I’d have thought the speed you’re paying for is so high that even if it drops by 90% for a few seconds there would still be more than enough for a crisp HD picture.

We have BT Full Fibre 300 now and all the streaming stuff we access is always rock sold maximum quality.
