Insufficient Bandwidth

[Moonshine]

Hi

Does anyone have any experience of trying to watch something on iplayer, only for the screen to stall consistently, and a message appear stating "Insufficient Bandwidth"?  Is this likely to be something to do with the BBC, my computer set up or IDNet?  I never usually download anything, and usually stream only.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Moonshine.

It maybe to do with you sync speed, but I have never come across it, someone else may know.

It's likely to be server overload at the BBC.

It's likely to be server overload at the BBC.

I'd go along with that, or maybe at the exchange. I see it occasionally on a 12000Kbps profile

Showoff.

If you've got it, flaunt it

Okay, thanks very much for your help.  I guess I'll try again another time then!

What are you trying to watch?

Does this happen after midnight?

As I sometimes watch streams on justin.tv and it tends to lag like hell when its "off peak" bandwidth being used.. its fine during peak.

Hi

It's actually a Dr Who episode that my son wants to watch, and has been during the daytime, not after midnight.  I was wondering whether it had anything to do with it being school holidays....?

Thanks.

Prob likely that the individual stream is overloaded (or the node handling it) during the day.
