RE: Had another "glitch" in my Internets this AM.

I have to agree with Dave_K. Internet bandwidth and reliability are not an issue for most broadband users in the USA for receiving streaming services. While not perfect, my internet rarely goes down and the bandwidth is orders of magnitude more than sufficient for hi-res music.

HD video streaming takes considerably more bandwidth and we enjoy Amazon Prime Movies, Apple TV movies, and Xfinity On Demand movies all the time.... and they all come across via broadband internet.

I also mentioned to Tony Lauck in another post that not all streaming services require a constant internet connection. Spotify will allow you to download a bit over 3000 tracks for offline listening for up to 30-days until you have to reconnect to their service briefly in order to maintain authorization.
