How to Solve the Most Common HD Streaming Issues

How to Avoid Buffering HD Streaming Issues

One of the most fun things about how fast technology has advanced is that anyone can now stream HD quality movies and videos no matter where they are. But, many people struggle with HD streaming issues.

Sometimes the it takes forever for a movie to start because of buffering. Other times they get a lower resolution image instead of HD resolution videos. If you have HD streaming issues on your mobile device or laptop you have to understand the causes before you can fix the problem. We’ll get more into that below.

What Causes HD Streaming Issues?

The three most common HD streaming issues are:

  1. Buffering
  2. Low resolution
  3. Stuttering

All three issues have the same root cause: there is something going wrong with your Internet connectivity. Buffering, low resolution videos, and stuttering are all caused by your device not receiving all of the data it needs to fully render the video.

Because HD movies and videos are such large files, when they are streamed they are broken up into smaller packets to make it easier to transport the videos through the Internet to your device.

Your device, be it a computer, mobile device, smart TV, game console etc. works to assemble the packets in the right order and shows you the video. It doesn’t have the entire video, instead it only gets what it needs to show you a continuous, HD resolution video.

When there is something wrong with the connectivity, your device only has some of the data packets it needs. This leads to the software buffering, stuttering, or just displaying a lower resolution image.

The problem with your connectivity could by the ISP. It could be a problem on the website you are using. But, most likely the problem is with your Internet connection.

If the problem is with your ISP you can figure it out pretty quickly. You simply need to go to a site like Speedtest.net to see if you are getting the bandwidth you are paying for. If not, you will need to contact your ISP and ask them to resolve the issue.

You can also use a channel bonding service that would combine your Internet connection with another type of connection, like a cell signal, to create a faster Internet connection.

Speedify fast bonding VPN is the industry leader in managing multiple internet connections on laptops, desktops, and mobile devices.

If you are streaming from a major company like Apple, Netflix, or YouTube, the problem is almost certainly not on their side. Major players in streaming video use the best bitrate and pay for the best “pipes” to make sure their content arrives fast.

The most likely issue is the actual connection you are using. Most people are using either a WiFi network or a cell signal to stream content. But, both of these connection types are prone to cutting in and out. Even a small disruption can interfere with your HD streaming.
