Jib is right. ESPN app is terrible in Europe. The web version is Flash-based, constantly drops me to lowest quality adaptive-streaming despite 100mbit fiber, and many other problems. iPad version does the same thing too, only natively :)
NFL Gamepass is MUCH better, although the web version is still Flash.
These content companies really need to stop trying to build their own streaming infrastructure (HARD!) and just build on someone else's tech. You're a content company, not a tech company. Stream on YouTube or one of the other handful of companies that do this well.
It's tempting to integrate vertically. Surprisingly, Major League Baseball did such a great job building out their streaming service that other companies, like the WWE, are using MLB's tech for their own streaming service.
