Doesn't seem to be all that reliable or is it just me? I have it on a fire stick and it regularly stalls at 20%, the only reliable way to get it going again is to reboot the whole stick. About once every two weeks the cache gets corrupted and I have to clear it and login again. Both a total PITA when you are just trying to squeeze an episode of something in between kids bedtime and grownup bedtime...

That sounds like the difference between Netflix-the-service and Netflix-the-app. Maybe ditch the Fire stick and get something more reliable?
That just the fire stick, or the netflix firestick app or your network. That isn't netflix's infrastructure problem. Netflix is the most reliable of netflix/hulu/hbo.

Try a higher end streaming devices that wired to your router

I find the Fire Stick generally pretty awful. No problems at all since I switched to Nvidia Shield.
Just you. In my family we have it on 3 TVs as built in application (2 of the same, and 1 diff) and on th iPads and pretty much never have any issues.
