Hello all

I've been looking at a really annoying streaming video quality issue for the past few weeks which i've tracked down to seemingly being an issue with video served from akamai.

For example channel5, seems to hit akadash0.akamaized.net and a traceroute ends at a virgin media address of cur1-melt2-0-0-cust128.12-1.cable.virginm.net (213.106.24.129)

From my investigation it seems to be this cache is congested and causing the streaming quality to drop.

Was hoping someone else more in the know could tell me if i'm onto something here or way off, i don't fancy my chances raising this with CS

TIA!
