4.2.2 YOUR NETWORK
Make sure you (or others on your network) are not downloading music, movies, or games while you are using Northwoods League +, as these activities consume your bandwidth and may mean you are not getting enough bandwidth to stream Northwoods League +.
Closed networks, such as the ones found on college campuses, hotels, hospitals, businesses, etc., can cause connectivity issues with live streaming video if certain ports are blocked or restricted.
4.2.3 INTERNET CONGESTION
Despite having a fast Internet connection, Internet congestion can slow down the delivery of the stream, make it difficult for you to connect, or cause buffering. Often the interruption is temporary.
If you repeatedly have problems connecting, please notify your Internet Service Provider. There are often quick fixes they can make when they learn about your issue.
