Unlikely as the BBCiPlayer uses a XML feed designed for and maintained
by BBC for internet radio vendors.  BBC want to move all streaming to
DASH as that will simplify their requirement but internet radio vendors
are slow to implement.  HLS is provided as that is what Apple supports.

Regarding DASH and wifi - DASH has nothing to do with Wifi and/or
players or MTU - making changes to player side is a waste of time.  The
DASH (and HLS) issues are some issue that seem to be associated with DNS
servers, underlying OS and LMS - all on the internet side and
independent of ISP connection speed.
