A smooth, uninterrupted streaming experience is key to enjoying live sports. To ensure you can watch every game without buffering or quality drops, we've put together a guide on the internet speeds required for streaming FanDuel Sports Network.
Recommended Internet Speeds
The internet speed you need depends on the quality of the video you want to stream.
- For Standard Definition (SD): A sustained speed of 2 Mbps (megabits per second) is recommended.
- For High Definition (HD): A sustained speed of 3–6 Mbps is recommended.
Why Does Internet Speed Matter?
Your internet speed is a measure of how much data can be downloaded (or uploaded) per second. When you're streaming a live game, your device is constantly downloading video and audio data from our servers. If your internet speed isn't fast enough to keep up with the stream, you'll experience problems like:
- Buffering: The video will pause as your device waits for more data to download.
- Reduced Quality: The video quality may automatically drop to a lower resolution to reduce the amount of data needed, resulting in a blurry or pixelated picture.
- Connection Errors: In some cases, a slow or unstable connection may cause the stream to stop altogether.
