Streaming live events can be unpredictable, as seen during Netflix’s recent boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Many viewers experienced significant buffering issues reminiscent of early internet days, while others could only access the event much later.

These challenges highlight the complexities of delivering live content over streaming platforms. Factors such as infrastructure limitations and timing issues can disrupt the viewing experience, leaving some consumers with little recourse. As Netflix prepares to stream NFL games on Christmas Day, including the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, viewers hope for a more seamless experience.

There is not much an individual homeowner can do when such vast streaming problems occur; however, one thing that can be done is to ensure the chain’s last link is as strong as possible. That link is your internet service provider (ISP) and home network. It’s crucial to ensure that your home network is robust.
