Hi Reuben
Been busy testing for the last hour or so, here's the results:
Boleh (MB in 1 minute)
br1UK 18MB test 1, 24 MB test 2
ukl2t2 19 MB test 1, 40 MB test 2
No Boleh (MB in 1 minute):
br1UK 72MB test 1, 68 MB test 2
ukl2t2 76 MB test 1, 77 MB test 2
I tested watching news at ten on the bbc iplayer and after 5-8 minutes it gave insufficient bandwidth, better than at the weekend but still poor
The boleh results when converted to MB/s give 0.3 to 0.6 MB/s which is on the border of streaming
The non-boleh results are above 1.1 MB/s, enough for streaming
With Boleh on the results are between 50% and 70% worse than with it off
However, it is inconclusive where the issues lie, is it the line between the two, your server, or the ISP this end throtlling my connection, so I thought I'd test with something independant, the bbc website, it's supposed to be pretty impartial and is giving results for streaming: the site follows

Ok, what's the next steps?
I've been watching bbc iplayer tonight and it is better than at the weekend, but I'm still getting insufficient bandwidth every 5-8 minutes. I guess your servers are busy at the weekend, but I'm still conssitently getting over 30 MB/s here with my local ISP
