Whether you're watching a movie at home with your family, or having friends over to watch the big game, there are 3 key things you can do to get the best streaming experience.
Tip number one is to make sure you're on the best available broadband. Fibre and VDSL provide a reliable and fast connection to your house, so type your address into our broadband checker to find out if fibre is available today. VDSL is also a great option if fibre isn't available.
The second key tip is to plug your smart TV straight into your broadband modem with an ethernet cable. Wi-Fi is fantastic for streaming to wireless devices like phones and tablets, but to get a rock-solid performance on your big screen TV just remember; plug it in.
Tip number three; streaming uses a huge amount of data, so you'll want to be on an unlimited data plan. Check with your broadband provider to make sure you are on the right plan.
So, follow these key tips and stream big New Zealand!
