Internet radio always buffering :-(

debs626

Hello and thanks for taking the time to look in.

My problem is when I listen to an internet radio station it works ok for a wee while then it starts to buffer all the time.

its broadcasted at 96 kbps

my download speeds are 512.

while Im listening to radio nothing else is running.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

Some ISP are now imposing 'traffic shaping' to disrupt what they think are users who are using P2P and other bandwidth hogging apps.

what stations do you listen to,

Its a private radio station direct from a http. I'm not a P2P user and I have checked my download speeds when the problem happens and I seem to be downloading at full speeds. I just wondered if it might be any settings that I have wrong on my PC. Disabeling the firewall makes no differance.
