I bought a month because it was listed as 800-3200kbps, but those are the only two I have seen so far. I think they tricked me. 800 isn't good enough - i'd prefer using league pass. And 3200 is too good for my internet.

It's adaptive, between 800 and 3500K. So, theoretically, the streams will automatically adjust to your maximum internet speed. Fact is, even at 800 if you don't stare at the monitor it does not look bad... but yeah, if you paid you want max value for your money.

Are you sure?

Because when I go to watch a game it has the two options on the side, SD or HD. (800 or 3200).

I haven't seen anything about the automatic adjustment. I hope you're right.

BallStreams™ utilizes Flash and Windows Media to deliver live and on-demand streams. Our infrastructure allows users to watch streams with a bitrate of up to 3200Kbps.

On our Flash streams, we employ the use of adaptive bandwidth. If your internet is slower than 3200Kbps then the stream will automatically reduce in quality to fit your network capabilities.

Our streams are all broadcasted in a 1280x720 720P resolution unless otherwise noted.

From their site:

I mean... this is what they say. I will suggest you, put the stream on 3200 or whatever, the max, and then wait and see if the image quality DO get worst. That's the adaptive nature of it. I can suggest you to watch the stream on VLC instead of the Flash player, some people notice that stutter go away in this way.

Sounds stupid, you've probably already don it but when I had these issues I found clearing "the Cache" seemed to solve it 90% of the time. I'm on of the few who don't seem to have any problems with LP. Hope it works out.

i didnt do it for some reason but dont you think trying another-a totally new installed browser should count as clearing the cache?
