[cma-l] Streaming Advice needed

[Eddie Stuart]

Ah - there should be the bandwidth then!

Next thought.....
Could BT be restricting / slowing traffic on certain ports, or even blocking streams totally?

We stream out of the studio (to Canstream) but I have also streamed in to an Icecast server to do remote broadcasting - but our ISP knows what we do

If they all upload big files at the same time, you will notice a big slowdown in your upload speed.
