This causes the Hulu videos to constantly pause to catch up the stream.
If I close the Hulu tab, then my download speed goes back to normal.
If I use Netflix or Youtube, it plays fine, keeps up a high download speed, and with no pauses.
Anyone else noticing this in southern California?
After a 2 hour phone call to Verizon support, they say they are going to fix it by tomorrow.
But why would only Hulu cause this slowdown?"
