    Yeah it's usually wireless connection that gets the dropouts the most. 10MB seems a little high for a requirement. I've never had any drops on my connection, but I'm usually around 13 or so (although I've had some lower times, Time Warner is like that occasionally). I know someone who has a pretty shitty connection though, and even he has a solid connection. He just makes sure he's always connected with ethernet.

    Are you using FME primarily? Wirecast? Something else?

    I do a weekly show, and I only have 2mb up.

    Sure, we're only broadcasting in 128 stereo - but I don't get dropouts, and there is always at least 3 people on the connection while I'm playing, all in IRC chat, and two of them are doing other interweb stuff at the same time.

    The biggest hint is: try and avoid using wireless to your router.

    Yeah you don't need a great deal of upload bandwith, 192kbps mp3 takes a little under 0.2mb

    As photojojo said, no browsing (what would you be doing browsing anyway, you're supposed to be mixing )

    They're probably attempting to broadcast using a wirelss connection - I used to have this problem, then I used a powerline adaptor to the router and all was good.

    We have a little chat box on the homepage the live DJ's use to talk to listeners. Plus if you're on a mac up until recently you were updating track titles manually. Really I stay pretty busy especially if I'm running a bunch of sample slots or playing actual records and trying to find the next one.

    Yeah exactly what we have now... the DJ's requested this as they liked to hear from the listeners.
