ISDN "slowing down"?

[Fulton17]

I have a 64kbps ISDN with MJVN as my ISP. I have the option of connecting via IS or SIAX when I dial up, as MJVN buys time from both suppliers.

Generally I have connected via IS as I have found them better, but have recently being using SIAX. I listen to internet radio mainly.

Downloading is pretty constant at 7.5 kbps, and I have no concerns here. My rpoblem is that I have found internet radio has being getting worse and worse in that I used to be able to listen to stations at 32 kbps pretty much any time of day or night, now sometimes I battle to listen at 16 kbps, and can end up at 11 kbps. At this stage the quality is pretty poor.

I have taken this up with my ISP, but no progress seems to be being made.

My question is this just me or is there anyone else who has a similar problem? I know that radio stations can also be affected by the number of listeners at any given time - the more listening, the lower the bandwith/quality.

Thanks for your feedback

Its very interesting to note that before the massive ADSL price crash we didnt have problems like this. Could it perhaps be because we have a lot more ADSL users on 30GB caps now?

Hey, don't blame ADSL users - it's clearly Telkrap that's the cause... I've been an Internet radio listener since 2003 over ADSL and there's been no discernable loss of connenctivity/quality, other than when they've 'fiddled' with the pipe...
