    That should depend solely on your internet connection

    maybe it's because the intel wifi link 1000 is a **** card

    espn3 definitely gives a lower quality stream if you have a 1366x768 display. I have confirmed this by using a laptop that runs at 1440x900. The difference is that on a 1366x768 display, it adds "condensed" to some part of the URL. I can't find a way to get the non-condensed stream to work on my display, so i get a lower quality stream as a result
