Hi,
Just wondering if anyone experineces the same thing. After about 4:00pm, internet radio when playing BBC (BBC R6 to be precise) drops out every 10 mins or so for about 10 seconds then reconnects. It does not do this with other internet radio stations, just BBC. Also, bluetoothing via my phone through the Sounds app doesn't have this problem as it obviously takes the data in a different way. It's just BBC, over internet radio.
Does it on two different radios and I've tried two different modems. It's not a neighbour, channel, speed or bandwidth issue as no other devices in the house suffer. Also, I've made sure no other devices activate or come on during that time.
I've taken the radio to another house in the area served by the same exchange (they have BT Broadband with a BT modem) and it is rock solid.
Seems to be an issue with the Akamai server which I presume is an edge server Vodafone use to host BBC perhaps? I've TCPdumped it (attached) only showing traffic between the radio (xxx.114) and the modem. And it looks like the server just stops for some reason forcing a re-connect.
I feel through process of elimination this is a Vodafone/BBC issue caused when traffic increases (late afternoon/evening). Anyone out there care to shed light or have had a similar experience?
Thanks!
