No Buffering Blues
When it’s time to match your holiday mood with the prefect film, nothing dampens the spirit like slow Internet. You’re in the thick of an action-packed scene from “Die Hard” (yes, it’s a Christmas movie) when your screen freezes. Sure, you know what happens next – you’ve seen it dozens of times.
