The first full day of the London 2012 Olympic games had plenty of action, which you might have had trouble watching if you don't own a television. NBC's online streaming service was not up to par for many users, who reported freezing and crashing.

The live stream for the men's 400-meter individual medley showdown involving Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps worked for a select few people, but many were shut out of the stream or succumbed to browser crashes.
