If Netflix doesn’t fix this buffering issue, this will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in all of TV/streaming history #PaulTyson

TV kept buffering so I tried my iPad Yep I reset my router #PaulTyson

Oh oh @netflix. Live streaming keeps freezing. Someone will be fired for not being prepared for the traffic congestion. Better get it sorted before the real fight starts. Could be bad. #TysonPaul #netflixdown
