Gonna be that way all weekend brotha. You were trapped.
I can't believe he's still taking money for this stream.
Been working fine now
Bryan, be gentle on Missouri. I've never even heard of a town throttling the internet. In Ray's defense, he has offered refunds. He thought that he could use his cellular hot spot as a back up but they are throttling that somehow to. Yes, the stream has it's issues but it's better than nothing and hopefully will hold up the rest of the weekend.
Stream has been working just fine since you got kicked out and Ray offered refunds to everyone that wasn't satisfied. Ray does all he can and this is beyond his control. Quit making it seem as if Ray took peoples money trying to rip them off.
updates then please
I second this.
Have some patient folks I believe Ray does a lot for our sport and at times like this when something goes wrong people fail to appreciate his efforts.
Haha..i grew up across the river in Illinois. No hard feelings just referring to the small town :thumbup:
Gee, I'll jump in here Jpowell's side.
Ray is running a business. A business person plans ahead, makes phone calls to ISP's, finds out what the bandwidth is, and if there are any caveats to getting max thruput.
Refunds? Great, that's the right thing to do. Where are we in the pool world that it is looked upon as wonderful that someone offers a refund for sub par service.
And let's all remember, it's not like he's got 1000 paying people on this stream, this is problems with low numbers of paid people.

All JPowell had to do was stop whining and be patient. Yes it is a business but the stream has been working really well for the last hour and half or so. Again, patience instead of every post in chat being a complaint would have been better. Ray does a hell of a lot of good for the pool community, didn't need someone taking over the chat with complaining.
Bandwidth Limitations
I posted this in the Live Streaming thread and thought I would copy it here as well.

You don't consider bringing the streaming that he does from around the country as a hell of a lot of good? I for one do. There are a lot of tournaments around the country I would never have access to other than results after the fact. I see how you took my statement of "doing a hell of a lot of good", maybe I could have phrased it differently.
Yes it is a business, however he does provide a good service. Name one streaming company besides TAR that hasn't had a problem with internet connection? Luckily, it seems to be working well now and that is all we can hope for.
Again, patience in this instance probably would have worked much better. All JPowell was kicked out of was the chat, not the streaming. He came on this forum trying to make it seem as if Ray had took money for a bad stream and that wasn't the case as evident now. JPowell has an out, send an email to Ray and ask for a refund. At the end of the day, that is all any of us can do with a service provided to us.
