There is a thread on alt.radio.digital.



Jim,

Perhaps you could use your vast influence at the Beeb [:-)]

sic :-)

so that this "experiment" continues after the The Last Night!

TBH at present I've not decided if for me 320k gives a satisfactory
trade-off between reliability of stream connection and quality. Dunno about
you, but so far, each time I've tried the current experimental stream I get
drop outs on average about once or twice an hour (about 1 sec lost each
time) which rather disrupts listening to a long piece of music. Wheras at
128k or 192k I almost never get such dropouts.

Slainte,

Jim

How is your broadband connection though? I pay a little extra for the
professional option from Plusnet. It guarantees maximum line bandwidth
on all ports and services. I was downloading the latest TomTom Western
Europe map the other day, and had the network monitor running to see
how it was going. Here is what the monitor made of most of the
transfer.

Rock solid 16Mb/sec and no dropouts. That is about 1GByte on that
display. That makes light work of 320kb/sec.
