I have had similar steaming issues with XMRadio. If I am at home and have a VPN tunnel open to campus my XM steam is poor and choppy on a regular basis. I need to open the stream before my VPN to get high quality. Different DNS, the tunnel DNS does not reflect the same path to the stream. Akamai instead of google. Robert D.

Probably the same issue (your nameserver is now perhaps quite remote from you).
No, I guess I missed it, but reviewing the archives I see my question is already answered.
Thanks for that -- sorry for the noise.
Just as an FYI, I did determine (hint from earlier thread) that I take "the long route" when I am connected to my corporate SLL VPN (which forces DNS resolution priority to my corporate DNS servers), but when I disconnect, I take the short route (and use OpenDNS servers for DNS resolution)...
