My problem at home over DSL was due to my "progressive" provider trying to
do good by customers by enabling an edge Streaming caching server which of
course isn't quite working yet... while they upgrade/fix it they are going
to shut it off.

As for the 34 vrs 200 Kbit/s sessions with BMRC, late last night I was
actually able to get but not mantain 200 Kbit/s sessions... they quickly
downgraded to 34 Kbit/s. I am trying to test right now from UCLA but your
servers are running at maximum licensed sessions -- must be a very popular
class that you are broadcasting!
