If your streaming to a cable company for them to re-stream it for you then they have the bandwidth to pick up a full speed stream, I suggest no less than 128k. It is always best to go with the highest quality possible.

Also, 56k is roughly equal to AM, 96k is closer to FM and 128k would be CD quality. James Henline.

This wreaks havoc with our audience and we are currently ranked #7 in country and try to put out a quality station. I tried to submit a help ticket but it was rejected by the AudioRealm Server.
