Outraged in Tonbridge Wells The WWE have also received a letter from a Mrs. Trellis of North Wales. She's probably upset she isn't going to see the Rumble. 30 burly men tossing each other onto the floor. Lionel Blair was also angling for an invitation, I hear

And panic on the streets of Carlisle. Any reports on the situation in Dublin, Dundee or Humberside yet? Treacherous conditions outside; young people armed to the teeth with antisocial attitudes dressed in ugly sports wear; burned-out cars and smashed-up deserted houses with no visible signs of any authority on the streets. Business as usual basically, no effects from the launch of the Network.

I ordered the Network today ahead of the Rumble tonight, and I gotta say, I like it. Pretty wide selection of stuff, all good quality. Just have to see how it holds up for live streaming.

Got the network at last today. Watching kotr 96 for some reason...not sure why it jumped straight to Ahmed vs Goldust, but otherwise no complaints. Hopefully the rumble streams okay.

Live streaming has been pretty good since WrestleMania after some issues with the first NXT special. I guess its more how good your internet signal is than anything on WWE's side.

Yeah, just letting it play through Santino's thing there, and it held up well. Given that Sunday evening would be a peak time, I'd say it'll be pretty good at 1am.

Looks like i wont be able to see the rumble on the network tonight, due to my internet being absolute crap now. Typical. Not going to waste 20 pounds on seeing it live.

Well finally got it and it's awesome. The streaming of the Rumble last night was perfect and the back catalogue will give me more than enough content to last me a lifetime.
It's so beautiful!

Gotta say, I am very impressed with the set-up. Only once in the three hours did the stream drop below HD, and that was for about 5 minutes only. Best €12.99 I've ever spent.

Worked pretty well last night. One big stall where I had to refresh it but other than that just a few brief stops that came back pretty quickly. Solid B+.

Watched it live on PS3, apart from a couple of pauses during the Rumble match (which may have been due to my internet, which was a bit iffy all day), the only issue I had was when I accidentally rewound during the preshow and ended up with a permanent buffering symbol on screen until I reloaded.
The overall quality was good, I've got no complaints. Well, not about the service anyway.

Because of the 2 week cooling off period they had to give us by law, combined with the free February gimmick, it looks like if you signed up back when it launched you're not paying anything at all until 1st March.
Under my billing information:
So that's kinda cool. For all intents and purposes that's two PPVs completely free.

And so they should, considering that we had to wait an additional 3 months for it to launch here!

Just tried to do Boo's trick with a new account and payment method and it didn't work, my billing date is now Feb 11th (unless it's slow to kick in), which I quickly cancelled to get two weeks free (my regular account ends tomorrow). It does occur to me however that I can just keep making a new account and Paypal every two weeks for free Network access due to this apparent UK mandate to provide a two-week trial.

I signed up on Sunday morning, and the next payment date then was in February, but looking at it now it's March so that's definitely an improvement I couldn't watch the Rumble live, but I watched it last night and the Network worked fine (can't blame the Network for the booking...), but watching a few of the Legends of Wrestling roundtables played up a bit. It really shouldn't have any issues given my fibre connection, but I'm watching the discussion on Raw now and it has been fine, so perhaps it was just a timing issue in terms of demand. My only real complaint was after having avoided spoilers all day, a notification from the Network came up on my iPad during the Mizdow match talking about a post-Rumble Reigns interview - but then he was the clearly predictable winner for ages now so I guess it could be worse.

Network held up for me during the Rumble. I watched half of it due to having to get up for work and actually deleted the WWE App so it didn't give me any push notification spoilers when I woke up like when I woke up annoyed after Survivor Series seeing a notification on my phone from the App about Sting debuting.

I'm really enjoying the network but the picture quality isn't great. I mean I only have 4mb speed but that's got enough for good quality picture on Netflix on my PS4 but WWE Network does not give me the same quality.
Other than that, I'm enjoying it.

I think I counted 3 or 4 moments where the Network froze or "popped" for a second and dropped to like 240p but was back to HD in about 10 seconds. As a Virgin Media customer who only had access to standard def Sky Box Office though, it was a drastic improvement for half the price.
Suck my nuts, Sky.

I'm often the same. As my work involves a fair bit of engaging with folk through social media, I have to try and avoid any spoilers. As all of my followers/followees on the work Twitter account are education/academic related I can get away with it sometimes, but a random retweet or favourite has gotten thru!!
