But how real is this problem, considering that live streaming seems to be taking off in a big way? Phenix insists the issue is major.
“People are experiencing significant issues with their live-streams—oftentimes, delays anywhere from 10, 30, even 60 seconds," says Bill Wishon, chief product officer at Phenix. "We personally tested the quality of Amazon’s recent U.S. Open live-stream in the U.K. and found that two devices using the same Wi-Fi connection were 32 seconds out of sync, despite being in the same room, and the live-stream was often delayed by almost 45 seconds compared to broadcast TV. We’ve conducted this type of testing for US-based live-streaming too—the Super Bowl, March Madness—and found similar results."
