Internet connection troubleshooting
-
Is your internet connection strong enough?
Check fast.com to see what your current internet speed is. You’ll need over 5MB to watch CGX videos in 1080p, and over 25MB to watch videos in 4K.
If your internet connection is weak, you’ll notice that videos will buffer or sometimes not play at all. We recommend getting in touch with your internet provider to see if they can improve your connection. -
Are you able to watch high quality videos on other platforms?
It’s worth checking other platforms like Netflix or YouTube to see if your internet connection is able to stream videos there without issue. Bear in mind that videos on CGX are high quality, so they’ll need a bit more bandwidth than lower quality videos elsewhere. -
Disconnect from your internet connection and reconnect
Refreshing your computer’s connection to the internet could give it the restart it needs to run smoothly. -
Restart your WiFi router
If you’ve noticed that your internet connection is weak on all of your devices, you might want to try restarting your WiFi router. Switch it off for at least 10 seconds before switching it on again.
