Interesting. Hopefully if they do the ESPN only package that it's better than whatever the hell ESPN+ is. I've never had worse buffering.

If I didn't need ESPN to watch X number of Kentucky games/season, I wouldn't need it at all.

I stream on at least 3 tv's (most times more) at a time have never had an issue. It may buffer once every 2 weeks or something but that's it.

Then I don't know. I have 1 gig internet and no other streaming service buffers at all or degrades in quality. Weird.

Maybe it's a regional thing. No idea. Good luck man.
