I watched murray late night match live on bbc website in the hd quality mode, as my sister wanted to go bed early (she kipping in my living room). No stuttering etc. was fine, I expect its a case of you need a quality isp.

The sound incidently was far superior on my pc as my tv is a bit crappy and my pc has a 5.1 speaker set with excellent bass. Picture was watchable but the fast moving ball looked a bit jerky due to frame rate.

Yes. My ping and speeds returned to normal at 5 pm. The women's Final later should be interesting. I'm hoping Miss Williams will win in two sets

In reply to a post by ARD:

Is anybody else experiencing much slower than usual download speeds this afternoon?

Is Wimbledom/ Andy Murray a likely explanation for my download speeds taking a nosedive?

LOL no issues here (UKonline LLU ADSL2+), infact sync rate has been a little higheer (about 100k) than it has the past few days LOL Must be another BT network bout of brain wind

Ah. That was my fault.

Not seen it this year but caused by people watching sports events on the Works computer and loading the internet down.
.
At 5pm they all go home and watch it on the TV.

Yup - ISP's who have networks that run close to congestion during daytime periods would see impact from the increased iPlayer traffic.

Those seeing no impact likely are on ISP's that have a peak period during the evening (i.e. home user ISP's as opposed to a business ISP)
