Occasional BBC iPlayer buffering

Not sure why, but I am getting occasional buffering when using BBC iPlayer, and just wondering if other Plusnet users are also experiencing this. Is it congestion?

The BBC diagnostics test shows I have more than adequate speed, so not sure why the buffering. Is it annoying!
Thanks for any help.

Re: Occasional BBC iPlayer buffering

Are you running wired or wireless? Is it happening all the time of specific times of day?

Sorry, should have explained that it is a wireless device, so this could be a WiFi congestion issue, also it does only seem to happen in the evening - so peak time.
Thanks.

Re: Occasional BBC iPlayer buffering

Do you still get the same problems when connected via Ethernet?
