BBC radio listen live - poor quality recently

I spend much of my time outside the UK and enjoy being able to listen to BBC radio, particularly Radio 4, on-line through the Radio Player. Usually it's excellent quality but in the last few days it's been breaking up with gaps, often of less than a second several times a minute. Really makes it hard to enjoy listening.

Anybody else listen to R4 on-line? Are you getting the same?

Now you come to mention it, last night was pretty ropey on Radio 4 and Five Live on-line. I thought it was BT being sluggish.

Same here in N Germany. Listening to the six o'clock news last night on R4 was painful. Also quite ruined the Archers

Same here in Southern Germany. Has been happening for the last two days and it's a real pain in the neck.

Thanks. At least I now know it's not just me!

Just hope it's not a permanent change.
