If you are on a dial up, is it choppy, and are you able to see the video.
I’m amazed the net feed is so fast.
Yep, no dial-up though.
It was choppy in the beginning but it’s pretty smooth now.
DSL access. This is awesome. It’ll be on my computer all day. Thank you, Mr. Dell…et al.
Who are the two guys doing the talking?
I’m watching. The video seems less fuzzy than last year. These guys have been talking for 2 hours already. They’re in for a very long day!

Just another eight and a quarter hours of talking about SL!
I’m watching on a T1 and its very smooth, pretty much like normal TV. The audio is kind of weird.

Gun just went off… for the pros.
Watching on CABLE (1.5MB/s) - it gets a little choppy on the close-ups.
I’d say it’s a better image/transmission than last year.
Probably very low bandwidth for the audio portion…Maybe 16k or even less. The less alloted to the audio, the more “tinny” the sound becomes. If they could count on everyone having high speed access, they could up the bandwidth. But if they did, the dial-up folks would be SOL. Still…WAY better than NO coverage!
Choppy video and pretty choppy in the swim too! I am waiting to see how long before Karin Theurig is isolated at the back (Will she get caught by fast AGer - yes I reckon!) But watch out on the bike!
DSL coming through pretty well here

We have it on in the store. I have Cable modem internet service, then wireless in the store, and it’s working great on my laptop. As everyone says the video is a little choppy when there’s a lot of detail (like right now during the swim) but the sound quality isn’t bad and you can see enough to make out what’s going on.

Hats off to Ironmanlive ! Great coverage.
I am watching imlive.com and the swim live from my condo balcony while drinking coffee. Life’s a bitch, you know.

Kona, so far it’s light winds and cool. things will heat up soon!
Choppy, 15 seconds on, 15 off.
1.5Mbps cable, but since I live in Scotland I doubt Mr Dell can fix everything en route.
Serves you right for leaving Ireland Ian - obviously it is perfect streaming here!
on second thoughts can you lot all shut down your browsers so I can get a clear run? 
How do you reckon it is going to pan out - SL sit on anyone, how much would Bjorn/ Lothar need to hold him off, do LVL/ Reid/ DeBoom back themselves to out run him? Are they going to give him de-gassed Diet Coke on te run to take him out (Oh I have a conspiracy theory already!)
It’s times like these that I don’t mind paying more for the high speed cable connection :).
