Not sure it's clear it will or won't be a solution for you. Network speed isn't a huge issue for streaming. Only 3-4Mbps needed for standard streaming. 4K would take 25Mbps. Problems could lie other than the ISP bandwidth. Slow ping, the source of the stream. So hulu might be a more reliable source.... I don't know for positive, I'm not an expert. But $24/yr is not much of a risk.

It might be a solution for me if there's a chance it will carry UToledo games but the sale ends Monday.

That's just their Netflix-like plan - no live channels - and you still get ads. That's normally 6 bucks a month, so a savings but not some huge deal. To get the sports, you need to get Hulu live, which is supposed to be a cable-replacement option, and is > $50 per month. If you want ESPN+ as well, then it's > $60 per month.

thanks for the info. Clearly not something for me.

I pay $4.99 for ESPN+

The impressions I got when that first came out, there weren't going to be a lot of UT games on it. You find yourself using it much?
