Always reply back to the Stream AMG one. And copy and paste same email you sent the otherwise they won't reply.

I have spent years on their back and pushed them last year to fix the audio out of sync issue which lead to them admitting fault.

I won't rest on this. I have paid the annual fee. So taken the hit. I'm too old in the tooth, well I'm not that old to be messing around with links and other things.

Swansea have taken off the email addresses off their site and now it's a form. But Google will help as well to find email addresses.

Are using Nord VPN? I hear Belgium is a good place to use, I am a resident there . Tried to visit other countries yesterday, got in my car and traveled. But it was same issue irrelevant of country.

Yeah I started filling in the form yesterday then lost interest halfway through - appreciate the email addresses! I watch matches from my various holiday homes… Brussels… Amsterdam… Washington… I used to nip over to Kyiv for the weekend regularly before it got a bit too tasty

I did come across this one yesterday though not sure how accurate it is…

How was your stay overs? You must have alot of air miles . You might find one of them is not working and it will direct you to the website in relation to your account. But I would push the trust one. Swansea Trust got back to me really fast and if anyone is gonna have voice, even if small it's them. As for the other email address, where did you get that? Is it legit?

Chat GPT:

1. Content Delivery Network (CDN) issues.

• Streaming services use CDNs (Akamai, Cloudflare, Amazon CloudFront, etc.) to distribute video globally.
• If a CDN node (or several regions) has problems, many users buffer at once, even though the service’s core servers never went down.
• From the company’s perspective: no outage. From the user’s perspective: unwatchable.

2. Regional peering / internet backbone congestion.

• If there’s a bottleneck between the CDN and certain ISPs (e.g., peering disputes or heavy traffic on backbone links), thousands can be affected at once.
• Again: the service didn’t “go down,” but delivery was slowed.

3. Load-balancing or software issues

Sometimes streams are routed inefficiently by mistake (bad load balancer config, buggy update).

• That can affect a huge number of people globally without triggering a total “outage.

4. Definition of outage

• Companies often only log a full outage if their entire service or core servers went offline.
• Widespread buffering due to CDN, routing, or regional failures may not be classified as an “outage” in their status reports — but it’s still a service degradation.

So yes: it’s very possible for a streaming service to say “we had no outages” while thousands of users experienced buffering at the same time. It’s a matter of definition and which part of the delivery chain broke.

No Comment on the replacement of your computer. I have done my apologies today . But joking aside, your point is the most valid. Did you get the Buffering issues yesterday?

Jesus. Its literally taken someone's who doesn't work in their company to answer a question they should know. That's comforting to read though, I will use that against them as well. Thank you for this. Very telling though.

Googled his name hoping to find a Swans email address but that was the first thing that came up alongside his old Bristol City one. No idea if legit but assume it was public due to his CEO position(s).

Didn’t realise he used to work for another (albeit lower league) Welsh team until yesterday either.
