Not watching the rugby myself, but how does it compare to Sky? I mean, I see a few comments here with a little bit of buffering happening, but what was it like with Sky? Reason I ask is I used to have Sky years ago and remember rain fade being a common-ish occurrence.

When its working its very good, and when it isnt, like now for instance, its worse than a worn VHS tape.

I am finding it good. One dropout/freeze in the previous game, one at All Blacks vs South Africa.

Yep, was perfect this afternoon, but things aren't working so well right now. Decided to go back a few minutes, so I'm technically delayed, but so far so good.

Spark say they are having problems and have to restart. Lots of buffering

All going well here on cc ultra, a couple of drops in quality, rather that than buffering. Comes back to great quality in seconds.

Stream is definitely not up to the task for the demand.  Every 20 seconds it’s dropping down to sub-sub-SD for 5 seconds or so.  Froze once for a few seconds here at the same time as posted above.  

 

If the internet is just a series of tubes, the Spark Sport ones appear to have high cholesterol 🤔
