My ISP: Centurylink

My TV: DirecTv

Neither works for ESPN3. (Luckily I have a friend with Comcast).

Anyone know the twitter handle for Centurylink? Let's flame these hosers....

Same here. It is really frustrating some days.

Just out of curiosity, I have to admit I am surprised any ISP's are still out there without ESPN3 access. Who are they? Post them here to properly shame them. It is horseshit that anyone with an ISP does not have ESPN3 access as it is really the norm.

What does ESPN3 have to do with this thread?

Because most folks have ESPN3 access if they have a decent ISP making the question asked moot. If you have a good ISP, you can even stream the video on your phone/tablet.

Actually most of them. The list that doesn't have ESPN3 is much much longer.

So, how do I stream the audio to my Android phone? Not possible?

It has been a while since i've had an android phone but I imagine just through your browser should be able to start a stream. Try streaming an archived broadcast here:

My biggest concern has been recent weeks with the reliability of gobison.com. I've tried multiple devices with just nothing but dead air but the broadcast comes through perfectly on KFGO app. Oh the pains of not living in the radio network anymore.

If Cable One, the worst cable and ISP provider in the country as ESPN3, then anyone that does not have it should be ashamed that they are worse than Cable One. That simply is hard to do.

Again, shame them here. Share with me a Twitter handle, and I will gladly rip on them. Don't just sit and take this in the you know where like a UN_ fan......

If the original question was moot, I wouldn't have posted it.

My ISP is Verizon Wireless. That does not allow me to stream ESPN3 to my Ipad or phone, which I think is actually an ESPN restriction, not an ISP restriction. Plus, I wouldn't stream A/V over Verizon, anyway, because it would use a hellacious amount of my data allotment. I live outside of the radio network area and DSL internet is not available in my area.

Go Bison!

Thanks. It appears I can stream that.

I have the same concerns. Like I said, it did not work last year.
