How fast of an internet connection do you need for streaming tv?

I cut the cord recently and it's been great. Tried everything and went with PSVue. I had 100Mbps internet. Started noticing during football (NFL and College live games) it started to lag bad. Only during the actual games not commercials. I checked with my internet provider and they downgraded me to 15Mbps. I can upgrade to 100 for a year for 5 dollars a month. Will this solve the problem?

It's probably PSVue, but you should upgrade anyhow. I tried PSVue like two years and it sucked balls.

It's not perfect but it was much better than hulu, sling, and our cable company. I'm pretty happy with it.

100Mbps should be plenty

All the others, including cable, lag worse?

beware of data caps on your internet

Sling lagged, Hulu no so much but just didn't like it. Cable't didnt lag but it would just go out completely about once a week. It would update every night for about twenty minutes at 3am. I get home from work at 1am so this was super annoying. They cut my cable off once instead of my neighbors accidentally and took a week to fix it. I was paying $240 a month for that crap. Now internet is $60 plus $50 for psvue.

What exactly does this mean? They limit you if you use to much? Wouldn't that be false advertising?

I have 100mbs internet and psvue in a very large house with no problems. Our cable provider installed whole home WiFi for no dead spots though.

We have 5+ devices going at once at all times with no slow down, it has to be a internet issue not a psvue issue.

Pm me for more details.

There was something about DirectvNow that my gf didn't like. I can't remember what it was but that was the one we didn't try

PS Vue has been great for me so far. I might try that at the end of the month though. My damn smart TV went out so I can't stream from my phone anymore though. I used to stream F1 through my phone and the espn because my cable would update in the middle of it

It sucked. I had a fast internet connection... Youtube streamed 4k no problem, Netflix streamed 4k no problem, but Vue would always buffer, lag, and be less than HD.

Hmmm... The only.issue I've had is football. Watching F1 qualifying now and it looks great.
