Sakon Nakhon streaming reception of USATV NOW


I've subscribed to the service. The price is right for what you get.
But I'm not cancelling my local TV services just yet.


USTV NOW is great during non peak internet periods

During peak internet hours,  frequently it's nearly impossible



Possibly when Thailand finally gets the 3G upgrade 'installed,' things may improve.

Then again: maybe not.

I suspect it's not entirely a slow overloaded, internet service in Thailand,
rather the cables between the US and Asia are overloaded. 
The reasons for my suspicions are the fact that I can watch some US TV channels through European providers without any down time, even during peak hours.

Again I surmise, internet traffic between Europe and Asia is far less than traffic between the USA and Asia.
