I run a shoutcast/icecast hosting business myself, and when something like that happens, my first suspect is latency/routing. There really are no failover systems for that, aside from using multiple DCs, but honestly this is more of a DC issue anyway and it'll happen wherever you go. It's usually orginating at the tier 1 carriers anyway, or some isp thats got the hop between the csr and them.

I have a radio station customer who is utilizing one of those streaming services to bring their broadcast station online. We've received a 
complaint of a half dozen or so 1-second drops in connectivity over the Internet to this streaming service in the six or so months they've 
been a customer. I consider that pretty amazing service delivery. However, the customer does not. I suspect this is a layer 8 issue, but what 
have your experiences been in these kinds of situations, and what technical remedies would be available? I don't know what sub-second 
failover systems exist, but I'm sure they're not cost-effective if they do.
