I use Apple TV with my directv now and I would say it’s pretty instant when changing the channels. Once in a while it might take like 5-6 seconds but on average I would say 1-2 seconds or less, at least for me.

I’ve have Sling for quite awhile I think they are killing it, on everything.
Thinking of cutting the cord and going to DirectTV now.
A few questions.. How much of a delay is there for live Sporting Events? And for those that have DirectTV now, etc.. You just use basic comcast internet?
im still on that sling + sports package for $30 a month. love everything about it...only true BS i have is that it doesn't allow multiple streams. that being said, i don't feel I have the need to cough up an extra +$10 to justify tier'ing up and 3 streams. I've been in this plan for approx 3yrs and love it....i'm an NBA head so the TNT, all ESPN, NBAtv combo is pretty much all i need.
Not sure exactly what the delay is because I have nothing to compare it to except the espn scoreboard, which does update faster than the game I’m usually watching, so I assume it’s about 10-15 second delay. I use the basic spectrum internet that runs me $45 a month flat because I use my own modem and router.
Ive never tested the speeds with a wired connection but wireless speeds are not that fast. I believe the plan is have is supposed to be 100/100 but I’m not positive I would have to check the bill.Switching to that same Spectrum plan. What has your experience been like? Are you getting 200mbps speeds or less?
Do you use Apple TV, Roku, or something else to stream to your TV?
also just note --- make sure you check with your ISPs about data caps. Because realistically, you can have the biggest bandwidth (gigablast here) but if you're capped at 1TB (Cox, Phoenix AZ) then what good is it having all that speed and then having the potential of being overcharged $10 each additional 100GB???
In my situation, i have cox premiere at 150mb down for $79.99 then added the $39.99 for unlimited cap...made more sense to me than paying $129.99 for gigablast with 1tb cap.
Remember, as we keep moving into the future.... everything is HD -->4k-->streaming devices -->hd ring camera ---> IOT devices....YOU WILL reach your cap.
