Starting a monthly thread for community reports on peak hour performance. Post your experience: location region, service type, and evening performance this month.
 
UK East, evenings 7-10pm this month have been solid. Zero buffering on HD. 4K had one minor stutter on a Saturday.
 
US East Coast here. Consistent performance all month. Only issue was a 20-minute outage on May 5th, recovered quickly.
 
Australia, Sydney region. Evenings problematic at the start of the month but noticeably better after May 10th.
 
Canada, BC. Performance has been good. I upgraded my ISP plan and that likely helped — hard to tell what is service vs ISP.
 
Germany. March and April were worse than May. May has been notably more stable in evening hours.
 
These monthly threads are useful. The regional breakdown is more informative than generic reviews.
 
Spain, peak hours improved this month compared to last. Less buffering on live channels specifically.
 
US Central. Best month in a while. Upgraded to a different service in April and the consistency improvement is dramatic.
 
Thanks for the reports everyone. The pattern suggests general infrastructure improvements this month.
