Anyone else use Sling TV last nite for Coot game?

If so, did you have any issues with it freezing up?
Trying to determine whether the problem is with Sling or my ISP. I have Time Warner's Standard Broadband which is quoted at 10MBPS down, here in the Charlotte area.
I feel like the problem is Sling because I switched to using the WATCH ESPN app instead, and it worked much better. Not perfect, but better.

Watched it on my laptop using a CL router. Just a couple of hiccups.

I used Sling with Verizon FIOS Internet via Fire TV Stick. No issues, great picture.
Also I upgraded for $5 more a month to get the additional sports channels and it comes with ESPN Goaline which is awesome.
Highly recommend sling. Worst thing is you can only pause certain channels and ESPN is not one of them.

the newest update for the Sling App that just came out this week? I think it's made mine worse. It gets a ton of "network" errors and it crashes back to the home screen on the Fire TV Stick a lot when I try and change the channel. When I switch over to my other TV that has a Roku3 on it, it works MUCH better, fewer freezes and it never crashes. The Fire TV Stick app that I had been using seemed to work much better, but as you know, it forced everybody to upgrade to the new app this week.

If so, how did you accomplish that? Multiple Sling accounts? If I watch ESPN inside the Sling app, then go to my ipad or my other tv that has a roku on it, and try logging into the WatchESPN app, it knows that I'm already watching something with my Sling app and tells me I'm only allowed one stream at a time.

for the most part, it was very good. There were a few times where the video would freeze, then go and have to go double speed to catch back up to the audio. But other than that, I couldn't complain. It actually was better last night than it's been lately.
I have Time Warner Road Runner here in Lexington and it's 15 mbps down/1 mbps up. Even on highest quality Sling only needs 3.7 mbps down.

Had a few freezes when watching on iPad but my kids were watching Netflix at same time. Once kids were in bed I watched on Roku streaming stick and had one bad moment where it got blurry.
I will say I had 15 Mbps for a while and had awful moments with sling. I updated my router to dual band 2.4 and 5 MHz and upped my speed with TWC to 30 Mbps and I've been pleased with Sling
