Hi There,
Does anyone out there regulary listen to BBC radio iplayer?
If you do can you tell me if it works consistently or not and which ISP you are with.
I am having trouble with constant interuptions and then a message saying insufficient bandwidth to stream!. My ISP (SS) says that there is nothing wrong with my connection, also when I do a speedtest though speedtest.net it gives good results so I am now wondering if it could be a BBC issue?
SS have also said it could be a problem with the type of old broadband plan that I am on, something to do with UBS instead of bUBA?

Hi,

had a couple of minor buffering issues on the work connection this week using the listen again feature on the iplayer (Citylink & Telstra clear in WLG CBD) but the home connection I've had no noticeable issues (Telstra cable - Karori, WLG)

cheers
