Radio 5 live poor quality on internet portals

[admin_exported]

Has anyone else noticed how poor Radio 5 live has sounded via the internet over the past couple of weeks?

Using the BBCs radio player the station takes ages to load and then reception regularly drops for a milli second [annoyingly making narative and music 'jump'] and often drops out completely. Nothing to do with my internet connection, since the radio player feeds for radio 3,4 and 6 Music, World Service, Classic FM, etc, seem not to be affected by this problem. Oddly, the live feed on iPlayer for Radio 5 also does not seem to be as reliable as it is for other BBC stations and suffers from 'buffering' when other BBC stations don't.

It can be useful for a lot of other BBC radio stuff, btw
