Loosing connection with streaming audio

[colordoc1]

I used TCPotimizer V 2.0.3 and gained 5 meg increase in download speed, upload stayed the same. However when I am listening to streaming audio from various sites the player stops and has to rebuffer, sometimes the player does not connect up again. Any help would be appriciated!!!

Thanks, Rich

Which country are you in?

What speed did you pay your ISP to give you?

Post your TCP Analyzer report.
