Q: Streaming movies
IT seems that the movies app on my iPad only effectively streams movies when connected to a 5g wifi network. However, I can stream movies through Vudu connected on a lesser wifi network. Is there an issue? Is there a fix in the works? Disappointing that Vudu would work better than IOS movies app.
iPad Pro, iOS 9.3.4

The iOS Videos app is not a "streaming"app.
While it may appear that way, the iTunes content is actually downloading content to your iDevice/s as you are watching the previous downloaded data.
Depending on how fast your download speed is, you maybe experiencing buffering issues while the video/movie content is downloading while you are trying to watch the previous loading content.
It is best to let some of the video/movie content download, first, to keep ahead of the data that is still downloading to your iDevice, then start watching the video or movie.
I just, usually, wait until the entire video or movie completely downloads to my iPad/s before I start watching.
Good Luck!
