Abstract

In the current era of dynamic development of internet television, there is significant competition among providers of sports transmission services. In an effort to stand out, manufacturers introduce new functionalities, often disregarding the limitations associated with customers' access to high-speed internet. The aim of this article is to conduct a comparative analysis of sports event streaming services available in the Polish market, taking into account their performance under various network conditions. A survey was conducted among a specified research group, and a technical evaluation of the internet and mobile applications of three services was carried out. Both approaches revealed that Polsat Box Go is the service that performs best under any network conditions.
