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.

Your device type has no influence on your provider and its bandwidth characteristics. If you're on Comcast, Apple can't magically make it not suck.

If you're on Apple, Comcast can make it magically not suck. Not sure if it's relevant though.

Cogent just seems to love picking fights with everyone (see Hurricane Electric). Why are they still in business?
