I've been trying to find out which (if any) isp is better to sign up
for to enable streaming audio. A few chaps here (not me) want to run a
weekly radio show. The www articles explain the bandwidth factor

http://www.bandwidthplace.com/what-a...music-article/

but how does this relate to isp up/down rates. Eg VMedia isp here
shows up as 56Mbps download but only 3Mbps upload.

(http://www.speedtest.net/).

Would such a slow upload be usable for streaming an audio channel?
Thanks

A weekly show would be better done as a podcast? That would then be able
to be hosted somewhere probably for free like soundcloud.

Surely, you cannot do this as every person who logs in needs their own
stream. The stream provider you get to do it will no doubt tell you what the
speed is needed for a given quality if you stream live. If however you are
happy just uploading things then its not critical. I do hope you tackle any
copyright or otherlegal issues or they will be down on you like a 10 ton
weight within a week.

Well as I said, it's not for me - but I'll pass on the info.
I know they are aware of copyright issues and plan only their own
material - it's the tech aspects they (and me) don't get, ref OP.

If you're streaming it yourself, you could end-up sending an individual
copy to each subscriber, and that would soon overwhelm a broadband
connection. Surely the way to do it is (a) if it's live use a provider
where you stream one copy to them and they have the bandwidth to stream
to everyone at once or (b) if it's not live use a podcast which can be
hosted in a datacentre.

Also consider p2p distribution if payment isn't required.

In our local community radio station we sub that out to a streaming
provider where we send the audio signal to them and they distribute it
to the masses...
