There have been internet issues such as buffering and a couple of times it's gone completely down. We have 10 mbps, too, which should be plenty to handle all the streaming.

It's one trade off for another. We'll be moving in the next few months and we'll probably go back to cable. We'll go with the cheapest package and keep Sling, too. The premiums are a good price.
