Hi Walter, Changing to a faster download/upload speed plan should improve the situation. I went from my original plan 20GB+20GB - 25/5Mbps turbo pack + Fibre Phone to Residential 8 plan 100GB + 100GB - 50/20Mbps turbo pack + Fibre Phone.
I would still like faster... but I have never experienced any buffering when streaming movies on ATV4.
