Curioser and curioser. I don't understand how it can be the provider - surely the BBC iPlayer HTML (or whatever) script must be looking for something on my iPod that it can't find - like the Wifi status. Given that the iPlayer only works with three mobiles and 2 of those are the iPhone and iPod both of which use Wifi and the chances of them having a Wifi connection to a router which is connected via dialup seems bizarre in the extreme so it's a very odd test on their behalf. As I can only access the site via an Internet connection, I wonder what on earth the BBC are actually testing!?
