Do they still? I watch a fair bit of Twitch, but never live. It used to be pretty bad, but since Amazon the player quality has improved dramatically.

Only time I have issues now is when I pop into a VOD of a stream in progress, and have to keep refreshing as the video gets longer.

Ahh, the stream listings often don't load and the entire video infrastructure goes down from time to time. Any VPS provider could give you better reliability. IMO there's a code issue, likely due to their hipster web stack. Also the site is really heavy-weight, someone force these developers to use older hardware.
