Thus, the download speed will be higher, and so do smoothness of media playing.

[...] Many viewers are now watching live, streaming TV via a (mostly new) slew of services. While legal services such as Naspers’s MediaZone (which broadcast Wimbeldon live online this year) exist, many are of a more questionable nature.

1.5 MB download speed. Oh okay, this is a great app, if you have a freaking T1 connection. If I have enough money for a t1 connection, I think I can probably subscribe to cable and buy a tivo.
