    Personally, I'd be nervous. Sky while has its detractors, is proven technology and accessible all over NZ, including rural communities. Broadband, yeah nah. Need to prove it before the world cup.

    What would it need to do to 'prove itself' prior to the World Cup?
    At the moment there is a huge amount of streaming via Netflix and Lightbox.

    Nothing compared to a World Cup. Australia would have Netflix.....

    I'm no technical boffin, but sure that Optus hadn't done nothing in preparation for the World Cup streaming. On the news the other night, an 'expert' had said very difficult to test systems under such high load. I'm not saying Spark won't be alright, but any issues would be disastrous for them and the Rugby Union.

    With Spark it’s a good day if you can get something as simple as Spotify for a continuous hour without cutting out.

    Spark have already started work on this.
    There are many pieces to this - the actual streaming platform is one bit but you have to get it to the eyes - over other ISPs and, of course, Chorus/ Enable/ Ultrafast and Northpower local last mile networks.
