Methodology
Phenix collected 391 data points across nine (9) streaming sources on multiple devices. Each data point was measured by comparing the delay of the streaming source behind either the Over The Air (OTA), Cable or Satellite signals (not shown in chart). Phenix benchmarked latency of OTA, Cable and Satellite against the Verizon 5G SuperStadium in-stadium experience, which was 0.9 seconds behind the action on the field. Combining these measurements provided the average delay/lag/latency of the streaming sources behind real-time.
Notes
Verizon 5G SuperStadium is based on the NFL App’s in stadium multi-angle experience.
Each streaming source included data points from both web and app based experiences.
Phenix’s benchmarks for OTA, Cable, and Satellite delay behind the action on the field increased by approximately 9 seconds from 2021.
Methodology
Phenix collected 238 data points across six (6) streaming sources on multiple devices. Each data point was measured by comparing the delay of the streaming source behind either the Over The Air (OTA), Cable or Satellite signals (not shown in chart). Phenix benchmarked latency of OTA, Cable, Fios and Satellite at 8, 12, 15, and 18 seconds respectively behind the action on the ice. Combining these measurements provided the average delay/lag/latency of the streaming sources behind real-time.
Methodology
Phenix collected 285 data points across seven (7) streaming sources on multiple devices. Each data point was measured by comparing the delay of the streaming source behind either the Over The Air (OTA), Cable or Satellite signals (not shown in chart). Phenix benchmarked latency of OTA, Cable and Satellite against the Verizon 5G SuperStadium in-stadium experience, which was 1 second behind the action on the field. Combining these measurements provided the average delay/lag/latency of the streaming sources behind real-time.
Notes
Verizon 5G SuperStadium is based on the NFL App’s in stadium multi-angle experience.
CBS includes CBS All Access, CBSSports.com, and the CBS Sports App.
Methodology
Phenix collected 111 data points across four (4) streaming sources on multiple devices. Each data point was measured by comparing the delay of the streaming source behind either the Over The Air (OTA), Cable, Satellite, or Fiber signals. Phenix utilized data from previous studies to estimate the latency of OTA, Cable, Satellite and Fiber signals against the on-site event. Combining these measurements provided the average delay/lag/latency of the streaming sources behind real-time.
Methodology
Phenix collected 603 data points across ten (10) streaming sources on multiple devices. Each data point was measured by comparing the delay of the streaming source behind either the Over The Air (OTA) or Cable signals. Phenix had an individual inside the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida to measure the latency of OTA and Cable signals against the action on the field, and then against the various streaming platforms. Combining these measurements provided the average delay/lag/latency of the streaming sources behind real-time.
Notes
OTA and Cable latencies behind real-time increased by ~12 seconds from 2019 to 2020.
Methodology
Phenix collected 831 data points across eight (8) streaming sources on multiple devices. Each data point was measured by comparing the delay of the streaming source behind either the Over The Air (OTA), Cable or Satellite signals. Phenix had an individual inside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia to measure the latency of OTA, Cable and Satellite signals against the action on the field, and then against the various streaming platforms. Combining these measurements provided the average delay/lag/latency of the streaming sources behind real-time.
