Is anyone elses feed cutting out more frequently recently?

My G1 is also acting strange.

Is it just me or my equipment?

I ran it for 7 or 8 hours last weekend without a hitch. (Web stream.)
Just starting it now. Will let you know.

Thanks.

Mine acts up every so often but lately it's been kicking my ass. I'm fairly certain it's time for a router upgrade, too.

And I fixed the G1 by taking out the battery and putting it back in. It wasn't turning on correctly or something.

:banghead:

Anywho, I'm still very much a fan of the service.

3 songs in and no audio farts. I'll check back in a while.
We do have our new internet service and router. It screams compared to the old one, but even with the old one Slacker only cut out when the router was resetting itself.

So the router could be at fault here?

Could be. If it's "skipping" you may not be buffering fast enough.
An hour and 20 minutes in, I haven't had a skip.
I used the wrong keyboard once and accidentally muted it, but that was O.E.

Does Youtube still buffer like it usually does for you?

Youtube's pretty decent. But I use two computers, one of which, my main one, is much closer to my router.

We're planning on picking up a new router anyway, despite my Slacker issues.
