You'll never get what they advertise. 'Up to' is the operative phrase. Doesn't realy matter that much for streaming anyway, anything over about 2Mbps is perfectly adequate, the problem is at the other end. YOu can have all the bandwidth in the world, if they don't cater for it the other side it's moot

I reckon you have made sense with this although i think kodi and streaming services are getting better, maybe the future is in streaming.

yeah exactly, because outfits like Kodi are sorting out their stuff on their side, making it better on ours regardless of our speeds

Major League Baseball was the target of a class action lawsuit that was recently settled. Previously if you wanted to watch baseball games live online, you had to buy an expensive package and you had access to all teams.

Now (for the upcoming season) you can buy a much less expensive option only for the team you want to watch. They still have their "blackouts" which are too complicated to go into, but this coming season it will only cost me $80 to watch the Washington Nationals for the season. Incidentally, the major league baseball online offerings are absolutely second to none and should be emulated by the FA and BPL. It is so good it was used last year for the online broadcasts of the Grateful Dead reunion concerts which had a massive audience.
You could not be more correct...and this comes from someone that last purchased the MLB package 5+ years ago. As I have become a "master streamer" since coupled with the fact that the cost became outrageous AND I would still get blacked-out when the Yanks played the O's with the massive rights-region I no longer pay for it.
But when I did I loved the "mosaic" interface with the capability watching up to 8 games at once on my computer. I also purchased the MiLB package as well since I followed the minors as well. To this day no major player has produced content of the same quality as MLB. It is superb.
But I will say that NBC sports is doing the business with their delivery of the PL; all games live with most on on-demand replay. If they were smart they could utilize a "freemium" model and charge a small fee for ALL games on replay (all season) with more in-depth stats & analysis, configurable interface and more gamesPIP/split screen. I would pay for it.

Bloodzeed on acestream seems a good bet but best off going with reddit soccer streams. Secent steams there though you have to deal with a few ads etc.
