I'll start by saying it's one of the oldest services out there and is seen as a trail blazer, so as far as stability and longevity, you can't really complain. Many other services restream Epicstreams feeds so for North America at least, you know it should be pretty good.
$14 a month, and to be honest I was expecting a bit more given the reputation they have. The streams themselves are good. Had a few issues with channels skipping on me or changing to other channels randomly in the middle of a show but those problems seem to be gone now. They have some nice 60fps feeds for TSN which is nice here in Canada. All the North American stuff is really steady.
I couldn't get almost any of the international channels to work. Very spotty at best, would not buy based on those.
EPG is good for the most part. I've seen better and I've seen worse. Same as VOD. It's there but it's nothing to write home about.
There is some minimal catchup. Again nothing terribly special, and not a selling feature. It's just kind of there, and you forget it's there.
It's a good service for what it is. I can see why it's lasted so long. I just find it a bit boring in comparison to other services at the same price point. If it was $10 maybe it would be a bit more of a standout but at $14 it's fighting in the wrong weight class in my opinion. Of course if you subscribe longer there are price breaks but even so.
Anyway, solid but not special. 6/10 would be my final rating.

Is there any service comparable to Epic that you've seen or recommend? I was using XstremeStreams with I think was really epic stream content /format. Thanks
