Having this issue at home and at work, on all browsers tried (Chrome 32, FF 24, IE 11). Watching any past broadcasts or highlights is impossible. It took me over half an hour to make a 30 second highlight yesterday.
Ads load instantly and suffer no buffering at all. Live seems to be ok, but all highlights or past broadcasts suffer on any user.
Line speeds:
Home (FTTC from BT) - 75d / 15u
Work (FTTP from Virtual1) - 100d / 100u (uncontended)
Things I have tried/done:
* Switched out Chrome's built-in flash player with the official ones
* Added the "cache" IPs from that Reddit thread, which made no difference and is actually really stupid because it blocks Google's AJAX CDN
* Added *.twitch.tv/* to my A/V exceptions
Traceroutes from either have it dying as soon as it leaves the ISP's network:

I see there are other threads relating to EMEA so presumably this is related.
