- YZF 2y agoYep. Having actually worked on this sort of stuff I can confirm. Your ISP doesn't have enough bandwidth to the Internet (generally speaking) for all users to get their feed directly from a central location. And that central location doesn't have enough bandwidth to serve all users even if the ISP could. That said, the delay can be pretty small, e.g. the first user to hit the cache goes upstream, the others basically get the stream as it comes in to the cache. This doesn't make things worse, it makes them better.
- jrpelkonen 2y agoCorrect. Here are some latency numbers from the last SuperBowl: https://www.phenixrts.com/resource/super-bowl-2024 https://www.phenixrts.com/resource/super-bowl-2024 Even the best latency is dozens of seconds behind live action.
