I bet $100 Netflix does the same. From my "experiments" during outages, it seems to show you a timer based progression from 0-25% no matter what, while it waits for stuff to queue/load properly, then it takes off to 26-100% in short order.
So when it Netflix is up, it slowly climbs 1-5% then rockets to 100% and plays.
When it's slow, sometimes it goes to 15%, then rockets up.
When it's down, it reaches 25% after 12.5s or whatever it is, then sits there forever/shows an error message.
- cgriswald 6y agoWhen my internet connection is down I get 99% sometimes from Netflix. I typically use the PS4 client so maybe that’s the difference.
- nullsense 6y agoIt's actually representing the users patience level and reflecting that back at them like a mirror.
- dagw 6y agoYea I've noticed that as well. If it stops on 25% then I know something is broken over at Netflix. If it stops at any other number then it's just something being slow, but will start eventually.
