If Direct TV NOW is buffering from time to time, I'll definitely have to wait until that nonsense is worked out.

It's only occasional so I can go days without it happening but then it might happen 3 times in an hour when it does occur and I "think" it more related to my actual ISP than DTV Now. I'm on 120MB Down/12MB Up. My particular "node" is overloaded and the ISP has advised me that they do need to throttle during certain times of day to alleviate it. For that, they are offering me a reduced rate until they split the node into two, which I've been assured would happen this summer.
Now, with that said, I have 3 computers, 5 TVs, and at least 10 other tablets/phones, etc. that all use my internet simultaneously. Kids are always on Netflix or YouTube, I work from home and have that connection pretty much constantly on, etc. I've got a very good router with MIMO support that pretty much keeps everything up and running well. I don't think it's a DTV problem as I also get those occasional disconnects with my work computer having a temporary pause which does notify me it's related to slow network speed. Pretty positive it's the node overloading that causes those occasional issues.
