There are a bunch of reasons this can happen and it's not always necessarily down to internet speed. WiFi issues are possible, Virgin Media have a terrible hub for WiFi that randomly slows you down for no reason. Browser settings, video codecs, Anti Virus software and hardware limitations being that Chrome is an over demanding piece of excrement are all things to consider too.

I was watching the match on a train on my phone on my 3/4G in the middle of a field and it was streaming fine in HD apart from in blackspots like tunnels. iFollow isn't the problem, in fact it's quite good as it cleverly adjusts the quality to adapt to the network connection quality.

I'd install the WifiAnalyser app on my phone/tablet and see if there were anny channel conflicts on my Wifi and any other issues it identifies. It should advise you on the best channel and best position for your router. You should hopefully be able to make any changes needed on your router.

I had it hooked up to my work laptop that i used with great success for ifollow last season on Tuesday games, never went off, no buffering or quality issues.
Now it buffers every 5-10 minutes and I have to hit the live button. Checked my internet speed wired and wifi both 300mps. Any ideas?
