not get anything else. Our concentration is first and foremost those
seeking home education and home business usage, and only secondarily
those seeking entertainment through netflix, TV and movies with real
time streaming and gaming.
Gaming in particular depends on low latency which may not be
attainable during prime time hours.

stopping or pausing during prime time hours.
If not it is your responsibility to find the right time of day you
can watch with annoyances like pausing etc.
