Apple TV+ Buffering Constantly and only Apple TV+

I gave up on AppleTV+. Have you noticed how much BandWidth it swallows?

Since it is not a app and 'is Part of the AppleTV Operating System', it seems the ONLY Solution is to Increase BandWidth until this Subscription works! I can't afford to do that.

I got Apple plus for free for a trial. I have not finished my trial, but getting ready to cancel even though I have found a show I love very much. It is just too much when watching one episode that I have to go through the glitches and then the show starts over and I have to fast-forward back to where I was prior to that. Not worth my trouble.

Apple TV+ buffering constantly on Windows 11 in 2024. No other streaming service or videos buffers like Apple TV+ or at all for me in my experience. I called customer service with the usual trouble shooting and trying to blame my 120mb. The lady customer service person got mad that I wasn’t falling for the Apple customer service gaslighting. She then said “you want to know the truth that no one likes when I tell them, Apple doesn’t play nice with Windows and that just the way it is”. It was shocking to hear. She then aggressively offered to cancel my subscription over the phone, ask several times in a pushy condescending way. This was while talking to her on my Iphone. I guess I’m not Apple cult enough to get respect or service from them. Anyways my next phone won’t be an IPhone and I’ll stick with PC ty.

We have tried numerous times on different Internet services all being gig speed cable Internet to do Apple TV. It lets the app load on our Sony Bravia TV but when we click a show it lags and I’m not talking a little bit. I’m talking full on freeze and start 10 minutes for the first part of the beginning of the show to actually load and we still didn’t hear anyone talking on it

Do your two Streaming Locations ever have both Streaming Systems operating simultaneously?

Your 'stated' Streaming BandWidth is in milli-bits(mb) which is Phone Line DialUp or DSL Bandwidth. I expect your BandWidth is Mega-bits(Mbps)

Any test of BandWidth 'is Suspect' depending on Time Of Day Viewing

Habits(in U.S. that's After Dinner and through evening hours) because a ISP Cable/FibreOptic Strand may be

Crowded with other Customer's Streaming. Put that together with ISP practice of auto routing 'BandWidth

Streaming Tests' over a 'little used' FibreOptic Strand and your Test simply reports the BandWidth on or near your Monthly BandWidth Bill.

If only we had a friend or neighbor who's trained/experienced with ISP Streaming Technology to answer our questions. This Apple Discussion Forum is NOT monitored by Apple, but these discussions DO deliver Solid Advice much of the time. Keep reading posts like yours; response to

This is happening right now. Apple TV+ is the only app with buffering issues. Download speeds for my home are 484 mbps after about 5 tests.

Did you figure out a solution— Having the same issues

Only happens In the evening. Tech support seems to be useless. Basically Apple TV sucks during prime time.

on my Samsung tv I have three streaming movie apps and out of them all the only app that’s buffers continuously is Apple TV

Me too. One would think apple would fix this before the raised the subscription price.

Same issue. Very frustrating. I don’t have it with any other streaming platforms but only with Apple TV.

This is a little ridiculous. Apple you gotta fix this.

Ben, this us a User Discussion Site; Apple does not monitor our remarks

This is nuts! Everything else works fine; clearly their “smart” TV related apps are awful.

Yes but repeatedly is a major nuisance and inconvenience. I could be a tech for them I do it so much!
