I watched on an AppleTV and the stream was rock solid.

I don’t know if it’s still the case, but in the past some devices worked better than others during peak times because they used different bandwidth providers. This was the battle between Comcast and Cogent and Netflix.

For me it was buffering and low resolution, on the current AppleTV model, hardwired, with a 1Gbps connection from AT&T. Some streaming devices may have handled whatever issues Netflix was having better than others, but this was clearly a bigger problem than just the streaming device.
