Is Vessel a bad streaming service or is it just me?

Works flawlessly for me!

I only have 10M DSL, but no issues watching videos on vessel.

imo, Vessel is alright. The website layout is fucking awful, just bulky, slow, and half-assed.

As far as streaming goes, they seem pretty decent though. Better than Youtube at times tbh

I only have a complaint with the site making it a pain to navigate to a channel, but after that it's flawless.

I just want them to fix the app so it doesn't stutter every few minutes.

i have 10 down, but its more like 8, and they load slow, but once they start there is usualy not much problem to it, but it sucks a lot,  so many times where the sound just stops and i need to reload the page and skip to where i left off.

To start off with my little mini-rant here is my internet speeds are:

• 15 Mbps down
• 1 Mbps up

Yes, I know they aren't good. #Murica

 

Anyway, I can typically stream 1080P Youtube videos without any buffering/stuttering and sometimes I can even stream 4K Youtube videos without much stuttering. But vessel on the other hand... is well, meh. Some days I can barely stream 1080P at all, and today I couldn't stream anything higher than 480P. And to me, Youtube's videos look better. I've tried all of my browsers on vessel:

• Chrome: Would lag at anything more than 480P
• Firefox: Would lag at anything more than 720P
• IE: Failed to load anything

So is it just me, or does Vessel seem like a much worse streaming option than Youtube?

works for me

My internet is a bit slower (12 down/7 up) but I'm able to get 720p no problem.

Mine doesn't lol

Lucky you. I'll try reinstalling it eventually and see if that fixes it.

Video quality looks just about the same, too, but I have also noticed how much harder streaming from Vessel is. Watching 1080p in Vessel usually buffers/stutters about as much as trying to watch 4k on Youtube, which is kinda ridiculous.
