What’s Causing the Pauses

• poor signal between the router and your streaming device
• not enough bandwidth left when several things are running
• the connection slowing or stuttering at busy times
• jitter on the line that forces the stream to refill again and again

Steps to Try First

1. Restart your modem and router once.
2. If you can, plug your streaming device into the router with Ethernet and test.
3. Pause or close other heavy use (downloads, other streams) and try again.
4. Reposition the router so the path to the TV or device is stronger.

When the Problem Is the Connection

If pauses happen on multiple apps and devices, the limit is usually the connection or the line. Alabama Lightwave serves eligible Brent addresses with fiber-fast performance and local support.

FAQ

Is this the same as buffering?
Yes. Repeated loading loops usually mean the connection isn’t stable enough for continuous playback.

If I switch to a different app, will it stop?
Only if that one app was the issue. When several apps do it, the network is usually the cause.

Does time of day matter?
Yes. Many streaming problems show up most during peak evening hours when demand is high.
