Last night was the first live event I've watched on the Network without a single lag or glitch.
Before last night I've used my Xbox 360 for a couple events to watchable but choppy results. My MacBook would be hit or miss depending on the browser (Chrome was something close to unwatchable, Safari was similar to the Xbox results.) My iPhone could be slightly better (but I only went to that when I was completly frustrated with all other options.
However last night it was smooth & perfect all night. So either they got their shit together finally OR the Apple TV I finally got around to buying made the difference.
Either way, I can't say anything negative in the slightest about last nights viewing experience from a stream quality standpoint.
Now that overbooked mess of a Trips/Sting match? Eh. That a discussion for another thread in another sub forum....

It was pretty much the opposite for me, I've never really had a problem with the live streaming until last night. Then it was just a bunch of pausing and the quality skipping around.

On Xbox here, it completely stopped about 4 or 5 times and I had to restart the stream completely. Also jumped around a bunch trying to catch up at points.

I never had a problem with the actual streams since the first week.
Last night, I only caught the replay but it was fine as it normally is...

It froze a couple of times, but never for very long. The picture quality was pretty good.

Lots of buffering for me. Never had problems before, but it chose to pretty inopportune times to freeze last night.

Still haven't had a problem since the first few weeks. I was worried last night because of all the traffic, but it was perfect.

I'm beginning to wonder if these variances on quality has to do with where you live at and what ISP you have. One of my friends watching in the New York area had Wrestlemania pause around 5-6 times. Meanwhile, for the same event in my neck of the woods (Vegas), it didn't pause at all and was smooth as butter the whole night. Besides problems the first couple of weeks of the Network starting, I've had no problem with either the Live stream or the VOD content.

It only froze twice for me, once during America the Beautiful, and once during taker's entrance. Otherwise it was fine

There are so many variables that can affect the network, and I don't think many of the issues people face are on WWE's end
Most ISP provided modems/routers do a terrible job.
Also your neighbour could be using the same channel as you for wifi which can affect performance, especially in rather build up urban areas.
If someone else in your house is downloading large files or streaming video that is going to impact your speed too.
Some ISP's still throttle speed when you use so much internet in a day.
the cabling in your house could be old and need of replacement.
the area you live in has too many households compared to roadside cabinets.
Crappy app is another one
you might also have viruses/spyware/malware on your PC that is causing problems.
Browser and plugin could be out of date
so many different things, and that's just a few off the top of my head, and I've never had any problems with the network I couldn't identify as a problem on my end other than an infrequent pause or 2 second dip in quality.
May I suggest if your using Wifi to stop doing so and google "powerline adapters" they use your houses electrical cables as internet wiring and plug in the wall, much faster and less prone to dips than wifi.

I always have problem with the VOD but rarely ever the live streams. The quality on VOD just goes back and forth every few seconds for some reason.

I was doing okay (few pauses but nothing bad) from the tag title match until the video for Cena to enter and it died for me. I tried my home wifi, cell data, and nothing worked on my Apple TV. Finally tried my Macbook and got it just as Rock had Ronda hop the rail, but it stuttered and lagged until the main event which worked thankfully.

I had a few quality dips here and there. None of which I had during the Rumble or Fast Lane. I don't know if it was down to demand on the stream or whatever but it would make sense.

Everything's been perfect for me the last few weeks. Aside from like 30 seconds during Mania when my stream went like pure 144p, no problems.

We started straight from the TV connected to the internet. It froze every 5 seconds or so. Then we switched to the PS4 and had no problems the rest of the night. Funny thing, the TV was Sony brand.

Really no problems on xb1 for me. Basically one glitch the whole stream.
