I know a lot about streaming using shoutcast servers and windows media servers, having setup 2 stations in the past.
I only wish to stream from my PC to a shoutcast server elsewhere at a rate of 192kbps, which should not be a problem on even a 10MB cable (with 512kbps up) let alone a 20MB with 768kbps up. In fact a 4MB cable with 400kbps up should be plenty............
I am disgusted for want of a stronger phrase, at VM, as it seems like as soon as I start streaming, they can somehow 'detect' this and then slow me down to nothing meaning I cant even stream a 24knps mono audio stream out, it really is pathetic, I mean what am I paying these ppl for ???

I bet its ur server
iv been doing it for 7 years ...and i had that issue aswell..
i then decided i had enough.. and closed my (AMERICAN) shoutcast Server.
I recently bought another one which was costing me like 5 quid a month.. @ 128
it works ABSALOUTLY perfect.
the people i had the server before with was lossing packets. which made all my listeners buffer constantly...
concider the obvios first..
it could be ur routing to ur shoutcast or something daft like that.
