With Euro 2024 due to get underway tonight, it is an all-too familar problem for many.The football's on, you've got a drink in hand and your team is just about to score. Just before you get to revel in that spontaneous moment of euphoria, a notification pings on your phone telling you what's happened. Sound familiar? Well, that's been the situation for almost half of people in the UK due to delays on the stream they are viewing on.
If you are going to stream, the site suggested disconnecting any unnecessary electronics from the internet, checking your router is working properly and minimising casting to other devices. To stream in HD or above, you will generally need a broadband connection offering at least 25mbps download speeds to avoid buffering. While no broadcast can ever be truly instant, each option to view has its own slight delay compared with the live event.
