Much more likely to get it from your TV provider than your ISP. Courtesy of the iTunes App Sotre:
Access to WatchESPN live video is determined by your TV provider and, in some instances, your Internet service provider. The providers below are currently offering access to live video:
* Bright House Networks, Comcast, Time Warner Cable & Verizon FiOS TV - ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and ESPNU are available to fans who receive ESPN as part of their TV package
* Verizon High Speed Internet - If you do NOT receive TV service from an above provider, but receive high-speed internet from Verizon, you will have access to ESPN3
In some ways it makes me my parents still had Comcast instead of Dish. None of the providers listed above are available where I live, but I could always log in with their account info if they had Comcast...
