I'm not able two get 2 streams on mid quality running without lags and I have 3mbit (not much, but I can open 2 720p streams on twitch just fine).
And mid quality is not even equal to the 480 option on other stream sites.

I thought there was going to be a player at MLG downloading tons of porn or something. I am disappoint.

Wish this applied to me. I haven't watched this MLG but every previous one I've watched I couldn't even watch one stream on medium without slight buffering. Watching on low was the only way for it to not skip.

Yes, I too also found that it just steals my entire connection, up to 7mbps.

I have to constantly restart my browser and manually open up the embed on TL again.

This problem always persists when I switch to Ultra quality and switch between Blue and Red stream.

Is this why it lags sometimes if I switch qualities but when I refresh the page it doesn't lag any more? It seems different from what you are saying but still it's pretty similar.

MLG needs to do alot of work on their player. The volume function does not even work for me. If the stream starts on 0%, I cannot turn the volume on without setting it to 100% and refreshing the stream. It's really annoying actually after 3 or 4 MLG's this problem has stayed consistent and has not been fixed.

Ontop of that, there's huge problems when I watch MLG on my other computer which uses Adblock. It's the computer which is across my room attached to my TV (Liek a HTPC but old gaming PC) and I have to refresh it every time they play an ad. Like really MLG?

I noticed that too.
I got a net meter on my desktop which is what made me recognize it.

Even switching between red and blue stream in ultra quality adds up for me.
After 3-4 switches i need to restart the whole page to get rid of that. Bandwith used is up to 1.5 MB/s.
Should be around 0.5 MB/s for the ultra stream.

More like central & eastern canada. I get a ridiculously good deal from shaw. I have access to 250down. Dont speak for all of Canada. Not our fault you have not put more pressure on your telecomm companies and provincial government to improve their service.

50down 2.7up, $30 a month with 400gb limit from shaw.

I tried on IE Chrome and Firefox and all 3 have this same problem, so it seems you are incorrect.

they could try streaming in 10bit from 8...( 20-40% less bandwidth for the same quality )

I was also going make a post about this, and I have some additional about it.

This problem also happens a lot when you are watching vod and switch vods. So if I pick a vod, switch to ultra, pick another vod, switch to ultra, pick a third vod, switch to ultra, I will no longer be able to watch because it lags to lack of bandwidth.

Here's proof

This doesn't explain the black stream when watching quad view or does it?

I have separate now and no problems but when watching quad view one stream always goes black for a while, which causing me to refresh whole quad view and missing lots of seconds.
