If you're ok with lower resolution then you can lower it, if the service allows it.
Obviously remove anything that might use network.

Use a VPN from a location where you know the service has enough bandwidth.

My brother bought the MMA ticket to watch mcgregor vs mayweather and it was a horrible experience.
I booted up my laptop and ran an acestream, boom crystal clear high definition image with zero network issues.

Hey, I work at Peer5 (another Peer5 employee wrote this article). We typically measure video user experience in several ways:
- The amount of rebuffering the user is getting (basically, the less the user sees the loading wheel the better). - The bitrate the user has (are the users seeing the video in the highest possible quality?) - Whether or not there are any media errors. - The amount of time the video takes to load after a seek.
From the user experience - you don't really have control over these things - it's up for the broadcaster to set up a good service.
We've found (unsurprisingly) that services that are either paid or are national broadcasters offer better user experience than ones that are free and easily found online so my recommendation would be to spend a few dollars and get a solid provider.
(Also, the bandwidth you get now doesn't mean too much when the network is very congested - so it's worth checking how fast your network is during big peaks and considering a different ISP or a streaming provider that utilizes P2P)

Of course, those streams are not legal.

#10What amazes me is the lack of concern on latency for web streaming.
We use the internet (and IP in general) to stream video. At high bitrates (200mbit+) we aim for sub 100ms end to end, for compressed services we're happy with 500ms, maybe upto a second if it's something like Sydney to London over the internet.
I was in a control room a couple of weeks ago watching some football. There were two displays, one end was the feed from the stadium, one was the feed from the web streaming service.
There were cheers and then groans from the live end of the room. nearly a minute later someone on the web end started running up the field to score. Of course I knew at that point that it wouldn't be a goal, as not only did the people watching the live stream tell me, but twitter was abuzz.
1 minute end to end delivery latency is shocking for this type of program. Heck 10 seconds is bad enough.
