Yeah, sometimes it does, especially if I'm using the wireless connection. If I'm on the desktop on the main connection it's mostly okay.

20 million Americans my *@$$*. Espn360.com is available to about 10 people in the US. ESPN is screwing the general public by requiring ISPs who are linked up w/ cable companies (most of them...Comcast, Time-Warner, Cox, etc...) to run their full gamut of programming and pay ESPN for the privilege to access ESPN360. Of course, they don't mention this on the coverage...they make it sound like everyone can get it. And what's worse is that it's completely out of your control... You can't pay for it, you have to have an ISP who has paid ESPN for it. Just another case of a cool idea that is in the garbage bin thanks to business and money grubbing.

anyone want to give me their zip code for who it works to see if it will for me

Your zip code is irrelevant. They only ask for that for tracking purposes. What matters is your IP address. They look up which ISP owns your IP address, and see if it is on their approved list -- if your ISP hasn't paid ESPN for the right to access ESPN360, you're SOL. It's garbage just like the NFL Network.

My ISP and Cable company are not the same, and I have it. Not sure if it't necessarily that simple, I think it's just which companies they convinced to sign on and help pay for it. Not surprised that Comcast did not join in, they seem like they are always last to the table.

ESPN360 is terrific- far better than the mediazone used by Wimbledon. Some of the best things really are free! With ESPN360 I have seen so many incredible WTA matches, which were not televised and barely mentioned by espn, that I have been extremely impressed and happy. It's really a pity that espn continues to show the less impressive women's matches and ignore the great ones. TV watchers have seen a couple of really good ones but through '360 I have seen many many great matches. I have also seen so much variety in many more WTA players using great finesse and net skills intelligently- more than the men right now. I am seeing more and more of the ladies employing these tactics in addition to great power shots. There are a lot of players now who are more powerful versions of Hingis and Navratilova. They are the future of the increasingly deep women's game. More than ever I prefer the WTA to the atp.

I really like being able to switch between different matches
and also seeing matches that normally may not be
televised.

Not good for me sleep though... been staying up *way* too
late watching the LIVE matches here in the U.S. of A.

Yeah, they have espn360.com again this year, but for me the connection is not nearly as good as it was last year (that might be because my DSL company has more clients this year and that weakens the signal).
