The broadcasting industry generally runs parallel pipelines on completely independent infrastructure - the endpoints on either side simply take the first segment which lands. So they produce a segment (audio snippet) twice, ship it to destination over two separate paths, destination takes the first arriving and drops the second. There’s really no way to detect a failure and shift away so fast! G

I have a radio station customer who is utilizing one of those streaming services to bring their broadcast station online. We've received a complaint of a half dozen or so 1-second drops in connectivity over the Internet to this streaming service in the six or so months they've been a customer. I consider that pretty amazing service delivery. However, the customer does not. I suspect this is a layer 8 issue, but what have your experiences been in these kinds of situations, and what technical remedies would be available? I don't know what sub-second failover systems exist, but I'm sure they're not cost-effective if they do.
