I agree. The way this is implemented exposes any kind of issue in the
network. 

I have hardly ever experienced any drop outs from the iPlayer app but I
put this down to the fact that I use a business grade ISP (Zen), am
relatively close to the Exchange and get close to 80 down and 20 up as a
result and, possibly crucially, that I use a business grade router
(Draytek Vigor).

I often think that people who use the BT Home Hub and the like are
working in blissful ignorance and being short changed by BT and their
kin. I have heard many many horror stories about wifi dropouts and
multiple replacement Home Hubs. I do think you pay for what you get.
