Primetime Internet Service - Absolute Shambles

My stream was perfect except for about 1 minute of the 11th of the Froch fight.

I understand every one's frustration though, I was raped several times by Setanta.

 

Completely agree, especially since ****** TV did not buffer at all after I had to resort to that when mine buffered constantly for a period. If you're charging £15, there should be no buffering, nor should non-subscribers get it for free when genuine paying customers have to endure a poor internet stream.

They have made a howling **** of this.

 

I was watching it on the internet, gotta say i was mostly pretty happy with it. Great picture and not jumping at all. About twice during the fight it started buffering the stream for about a minute both times, but overall it was good.

 

Seems like if you paid for this over the Internet you got screwed. Especially as you could have watched a dodgy stream with perfect picture quality, and the Sky channel was free anyway. Definitely one for Ofcom.

 

This is my main irk.

 

They were getting a **** load of calls last night, so I believe, from people who paid and couldn't view the Sky feed. So I think that's why they didn't encrypt it at fight time.

 

there i was thinking it had worked for me, but it was free? at what time did they decide to unencrypt?

 

Mine buffered once in the Germany fight and twice in the England fight. Each buffer lost me 45 seconds. When it wasn't buffering it was a good picture, that ran smoothly. If they could sort out the buffering I would do it again.

I'm very thankful to people on ESB. One bloke advised I connect modem and laptop up directly and not go wireless. That made a huge difference.

£15 was too much though. Should be £5 for stream.

 

Two of my work mates got it for free when they put on 480.

 

Is anyone seriously surprised at all this?

 

This was EXACTLY what happened for me. Also missed the Abraham knockout due to buffering.

 

Even when the feed was good there was a buffering sign smack bang in the middle of the screen - this was there all night in fact. Really off putting. Also lost the feed which particularly irked me during the eleventh of the Froch fight.

 

expect primetime to shut up shop and come back in a month under a different name like ppv tv or some **** like that, i couldnt order the event and am gkad i couldnt in a way, what a ****ing sham this whole thing has been

 

I paid for the sky broadcast but was told to order come fighttime. Had to watch tayor/abraham on a dodgy site (which was perfect). Didn't realise that everyone got the free event on sky but to be honest I always believed the first fight would be the better of the two. ****in raging! Bunce and co didi their best to make up for the shiititest undercard I've ever seen on a world title ppv event.

 

I had a brilliant stream, didnt skip, crystal clear....and the paying customers got the **** stream? Shocking really
