Description

*I'm submitting a ...*
- [x] bug report
- [ ] feature request
- [ ] support request

## General infomration
If someone else on my network is downloading heavily, I can log onto the kodi youtube plugin fine but the netflix plugin won't log in, will return 'error logging in'.
On the other hand if I log into netflix via a web browser that works fine, and if I get them to stop downloading I can log into the kodi plugin fine. But there seems to be no tolerance for delay or latency.

### Prerequisites

* [x] Are you running the latest version?

### Description

[Description of the bug or feature]

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Reduce the bandwidth of your network, either by starting a heavy download/torrent or something else, so that web browsing takes a while to load pages.
2. Try logging into kodi youtube plugin (should work fine)
3. Try loggin into kodi netflix plugin (should fail)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked debug log and reproducing the Netflix plugin login on Windows while the network is bandwidth-constrained; compare it with the Kodi YouTube plugin and browser login described in the issue. Trace the login failure and identify why latency produces “error logging in”; done means Netflix authentication remains reliable under the reported network conditions.
