Constant buffering . It was working perfectly fine yesterday and then I went to switch channels and

I've contacted my internet company. It is working perfectly I checked my Wi-Fi connection. It is working perfectly. Got all three green check marks. But when I tried to go to any channel live TV. What to watch for free Netflix? The little white circle just sits and spin and nothing ever comes on
