What is acceptable? Download speed came in at 58.89 Mbps Almost certainly them, then. Include that information when you email them. As a general rule of thumb, 2-3Mbps down will allow you to stream SD video with minimal hiccups. 4-7Mbps will handle 720p (the Network's max rate) well. The faster you have, though, the better off you'll be. You're well beyond the requirements. Unless your speed was dipping dramatically during the broadcast, for whatever reason, there's no reason your end would cause the hiccups with that speed. It only happens watching things live. When we watched WM a few days later, since my dad didn't get to see it, it played perfectly fine for 4 hrs. It dropped back to the main menu 3 times last night and froze another 4-5 times. I don't mind it freezing up a couple times, I understand the basics, and for as much money as we save on PPVs, can't be too mad. But when the PPVs, or NXT matches are RUINED because it freezes, then comes back post-climax/pin/what have you...that's more than annoying. Even if it would come back, delayed, and play properly. I don't mind being a minute behind the LIVE stream, if it's playing properly, but damn. Just let me see what happens!

I always get flawless playback on demand, and a few hiccups here and there during live broadcasts. I didn't get any freezing last night, just a few backward skips during the Cena/Rusev match. For what it's worth, my speeds top at 30Mbps, so, a fair bit less than your connection, and I haven't had the problems you're experiencing since the Network was brand new and everyone was having problems.

Just finished watching it. It was OK, I guess, for what it was.

I see people saying it was better than WrestleMania. That's an interesting thought. I didn't think Mania was amazing, but I certainly found it better than Extreme Rules.

I didn't really enjoy Extreme Rules, and I'm worried.... because I have pretty decent seats for Payback. And I can't possibly imagine how they'll follow up Extreme Rules in a way that I'm particularly interested in seeing....
It didn't have any type of big-match feel.... The main event wasn't satisfying in any way at all.... most of the matches were let-downs (and my expectations really weren't even that high). I sure wasn't expecting Brock or anyone like that, but no Bryan, No Bray Wyatt, No Mizdow/Miz, no Stardust? A lot of key absences from a PPV that really could have used all the help it could get... as it was, it felt like an above-average episode of Smackdown....
I'm horrified that they're doing Cena VS. Rusev again at Payback - I can't imagine what they'll do with these two that'll even be interesting.... Even if Rusev wins (which he won't) Cena has already won the war.... I'm tired of this feud and ready for it to end.
I don't care what anyone says, I don't like Cesaro & Kidd as a tag team, they just don't have chemistry together, in my opinion.... and New Day is just a mess....
When I bought the Payback tickets several months ago, I was hoping the WWE booking would see some improvement by now.... instead, it seems to have gotten much worse, and I didn't think that was possible....
I haven't been watching Raw/Smackdown, I thought I would start again tonight, but I'm really not even that interested in it..... maybe I'll give it a try, but I doubt I'll stay with the program if it doesn't start making sense...
So, so sad that Extreme Rules is the PPV that used to be called "One Night Stand".....

Ziggler wins, but loses the stip....Seth wins with banned move...lights clear after contact, but stay lit for Cena to AA Rusev and win....
None of these stipulations even mattered...

None of these stipulations even mattered... i agree with you there but i thought only Orton couldnt use the RKO. when Seth Rollins used it to beat Orton, i thought that was actually pretty neat. showing that the RKO does alot of damage. for Rusev and Cena, i agree with you on that. any kind of contact would make the lights go out except when Cena does the AA, wtf?

Shockingly bad PPV as far as I'm concerned. No sugar coating it. the tag match took MOTN for me. Very enjoyable stuff. Cesaro, Big E and Xavier are soooooo god damn entertaining. I am curious where the New Day go from here. Reigns vs Show was a shocker. Very solid match indeed. No idea how you up an extreme rules match between Haroer and Ambrose but there you go. Nothing else of note. One step forwards two steps back. Looking forward to KOTR though I must say.

I fell asleep through some of this...felt like a Raw or Smackdown...I see no reason to have an 'extreme' anything in the WWE anymore; it's well and truly moot IMO...
I didn't expect much from the former Jon Moxley and Brodie Lee...and a good thing too. Bit odd to see Nigel McGuiness' moves used by Ambrose so well...it's great to hear the reaction for Ambrose when he comes out but he could be doing so much more.
Nothing against American diction, but hearing the way they Cole et al say 'arse' was cringeworthy...match with refreshed heel Sheamus against Ziggler (who doesn't seem to evolve anymore) was solid but little else...the Small Package was horrendous BTW...ending was way too drawn out for a result a blind man could see...
Tag match was good; great crowd reactions for both teams...Cesaro and Kidd are so good; but I see a potential Hollywood Blonds thing occurring perhaps...they split and feud for no good reason...rushed finish...
Good to see Lana....I'll leave it at that for that match...it's like Wyatt and Ryback all over again...
Does Nikki actually like showing us her title like she's a ring girl at s boxing match? Glasses and light up shoes is all I could from it.
Who would've thought...use gimmicks properly and people can get behind you, even if you do a similar finish to a match Show had against Del Rio a few years back...
Legit fell asleep during Orton and Rollins...finished the rest of the main event this evening.
