Actually both the WD2Go app and WD2Go.com are very slow. I have FiOS 50/25 MB and it times out when streaming.
I have FiOS 40/40 and don’t have problems as long as wherever I happen to be has fast internet… Even in places with SLOW internet, I’ve NEVER had a “timeout.” Just bouts of repeated buffering.
