We've never used their support. My guy handles everything on the server and we figure most stuff out ourselves so I'm not familiar with their support. I just know Adobe FMS has never let us down whether it's streaming all of our vids or doing our live streaming shows with hundreds of people viewing and chatting at the same time with Claudia-Marie

But it does tax the viewers cpu big time, especially when streaming an H264 rtmpe stream. And the higher the bit rate the bigger the load on the user end. That's kind of my main line of thought. If Wowza can do the same thing and have my server work harder and the end user's computer not working as hard then that would give me just one more parameter that would be under my control and take away an unknown variable (the viewers computer strength)

Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with FMS. I'm just a bit of a perfectionist and I'm always looking for the tiniest things that can improve something.
