Not my end, solid on other sites, Like YouTube etc...It Has Got worse recently...Other Boardhost forums more busy?
In connection with stations using the internet to do streaming and/or TX feeds, it seems poor upstream bandwidth,
at the studio or sending end, often seems to be cause of buffering effects...Different systems do different things
when they loose the feed, some just go quiet, some sound like a Dalek, some stretch the audio out, making it sound slower speed
to try to fill in the gap....Seems community stations, trying to do it on the cheap, internet wise, cause their own problems
If you have buffering problems, keep doing "broadband speed checker" say, every ten mins or so, and write down a list
you can then see your bandwidth, going up and down, as others in your area, use up the shared bandwidth
For outward going music, the smaller number, the Upload or Upstream is important, not the main Download number
