Most of the services were around 30 second delays, with the best being around 15 seconds and the worst around 60 seconds. At this point there needs to be a technology shift if its going to get any better than about 10 seconds. It even varies by device. iOS defaults to 10 second chunks, but you can reliably get it down to 6 seconds. You generally need to store at least 2 chunks or you'll have bad buffering.
