I was just wondering whether other people have noticed an increase in streaming buffering (slow streaming, audio skipping) lately?

When I first really started streaming from last.fm, my stream rarely had to pause to refill the buffer. But lately it seems to be happening much more frequently (sometimes between 1 and 5 times per five minute song).

I do have a paid account and I haven't changed anything with my internet/network connection since registering.

I just did a speed test (while I was experiencing buffer underrunning) and I got excellent results (10+ Mbps)

I was just wondering whether last.fm has been getting significantly more traffic lately that may be causing this (or whether my neighbor has been chewing on my cable line and I should look into my own infrastructure)
