Interesting, I neglected to ripe whois each IP... I found it quite puzzling
that BBC stuff was being served from a yahoo.com address, I assumed that it
would've been served from Akamai-branded IPs as opposed to the Y!'s IP
ranges.
I've also noticed that stuff from the 92. range is streaming a bit more
slowly than the 213. stuff, and sometimes doesn't want to stream at all
unless I refresh and try again (although my testing hasn't been quite as
scientific as it should be in order to conclusively decide that something is
not quite right). Either way, it's quite peculiar.
