constant buffering 19 March 2013 Reviewer: Niki from UK

Extremely disappointed and frustrated with the level of service Blinkbox provides! We have been trying to watch Argo for 2 days now - the buffering made a what should be a 2 hour long movie into a 48 hour long! Buffering and stopping continued every 10 seconds (yes, we timed it!) The longest we could see of an uninterrupted film was only 5 minutes! I don't believe that any reputable company should be allowed to trade and demand payment for such an appalling service. The system obviously cannot cope with the number of people watching new releases, which causes its breakdown. What should be a pleasant night in watching a new film turns into a prolonged torture of buffering and frozen screen. This level of trading standards should be a case for a Watchdog!
In summary, I would not recommend BlinkBox to a friend.
