Q: Very slow loading on apple TV with high speed internet ?

Is this occuring at specific times?

Have you verified your connection via speedtest.net ?

Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)

If on wifi try Ethernet

Same here.   200+ hours to stream a movie I bought months ago.  No help from Apple support.   Wondering how wide spread it is.  

See above. It's not widespread, and issues that arise of this nature will typically be network related.

I been having the same issue and tried to reset my Apple TV and only a few movies and shows will play and the others don't.

Are they showing an error? Buffering? Have you done any troubleshooting?

It says loading and after a while it says movie will play in over 10 hours. I called my internet company and told me everything is ok?

You need to troubleshoot

Occurs all the time for the last 10 days or so.

Speedtest confirmed via wired and wireless

DNS is on auto.

Reset did not solve problem.

Netflix on AppleTV works fine, as does Hulu.

More recently purchased AppleTV itunes movies will play

Older movies will not play within 10-300 hours of me asking for them.

AppleTV support was near useless and refused to admit the problem was with Apple network.  Told me to come here.

What was the connection via speedtest.net ?

Did you connect Apple TV via Ethernet?

Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a network report. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks

Test on another network

Speedtest.net was service used.

AppleTV connected both wired and wireless.

I know, but you didn't give the connection that speedtest reported

What were the results from the network report?

Test on another network (ideally a controlled one like Apple's) to see if it persists

Note: Netflix, Hulu, and similar will adapt to the connection so it's not an apt comparison.

Same story here.  Did all network troubleshooting and absolutely not my connection.  Getting solid 22gb down and everything but apple works.  Hbo go immediate hd streaming but itunes "Ready to play in 6hours 26 minutes". The joke is Apple wants me to pay them $29 for a support call to tell them their download servers are jacked.  Better get fixed soon or off to Fire TV I go.

HBO Go uses adaptive streaming

What troubleshooting did you do? What were the results of the network report? Did you test elsewhere? Other devices working doesn't rule this out.

I get incredible slow download times from Apple for rental movies.

I got the network report below and my network is highlighted. Can someone do an interpretation of what I see?

I get also poor performance checking download speed over wifi to my laptop.
