Network environment problems
The most common cause of slow U-NEXT downloads is a problem with the network environment. However, depending on the speed and stability of the Internet, downloading may be affected.
Network environment problems affect not only downloading, but also streaming viewing. Videos may be choppy or have poor quality. By improving your network environment, you can speed up your U-NEXT downloads.
Device or application problems
Another cause of slow U-NEXT downloads is a problem with the device or app. u-NEXT allows you to download videos by installing a dedicated app on your smartphone, tablet or other device. However, if there is a problem with the device or app, it may affect the download.
For example, the following cases are likely to cause problems with the device or app and slow downloads

- Clear the app cache and unnecessary data

Server-side issues
Another cause of slow U-NEXT downloads is a server-side issue. If there is a failure or maintenance on the server side, downloading may be affected.
