1 oh no

Brutal.

Think it might be time for a cheeky rum and coke or 3. Also animes. I love rum and animes and posting on PC.

I should probably never let myself get drunk, as sober me has committed to buying all 5 of these (4 more should be announced throughout the year), and drunk me would probably make an even bigger impulse purchase.

I bought a year's subscription to crunchyroll whilst drunk the other day.

5. You might find it worth it. Especially for older stuff no one's seeding.

Assuming your connection doesn't buffer way more than it should. I've been encountering buffering issues since the start of the year and haven't had a chance to look into buying a new router to give it a shot, so it's gotten in the way of anime watching.

It's not necessarily your fault. CR shouldn't have abandoned their HTML5 player, playback was much smoother, even in beta.

7. I'm having issues on my consoles on all streaming providers. Which is either my ISP throttling or my router being shitty. I'd like to eliminate the $15 router as the problem first before complaining to my ISP.

I've used my ps4 and not had any problem with buffering.

Only thing is that it just doesn't look as good as when you download, so I'll still be doing that for most shows. I'll just use Crunchy when I don't want to be on my laptop basically, for shows I'm not bothered about.

I've definitely had more trouble on my PC than anywhere else, console and Chromecast have generally had silky smooth playback, which is...odd, but not odd when you think about it I suppose. I definitely do think their web player has more problems than anything else and to this day still opt for 3rd party sites generally.

'Course, I also live at the corner of my house where my router, unfortunately, is at the exact opposite end, and the extender isn't exactly paying dividends. MPC's been getting a lot more use lately as a result.

Only had a quick look but 1080p seems to run without buffering on the web player. Not that I'll ever use it here.

My broadband isn't fantastic but it's been reliable over the last 12months, bar a couple of weeks where they were trying to fix things. Solid 25-30 download and 8-10 up. Not what it's supposed to be but I suppose I'm not living in the middle of town any more.

11. I'm supposed to have 150/20 and when I run tests I get anywhere between 90 and 160 down and 10 and 25 up, but that's certainly not what I'm experiencing streaming, as a single episode of anything takes longer to download from any streaming service than the episode actually has for run-time.

My service does come in over coax, though, and the pipe is shared with their cable service for at least my entire building, if not my complex.

80/20 is the best I can get in my area at the moment. It costs about 50% more than what I'm paying now though so it's not really worth it, maybe if I ever start playing games online regularly (doubt).
