Connection too slow for RTE Streaming

    Hi,
    I badly want to watch the dragons den episodes on the RTE site but when I open them, the first few seconds are ok, but then the rest is just like watching a slideshow of photos :(

    The issue is definitely my connection as I can watch it perfect on a better one, just wondering does anyone know of a solution so I can watch them? Unfortunately the way they stream, doesn't allow me to just press pause and wait till the buffer loads them, they don't continue to load when you pause :(

    Any feedback appreciated!

    all I want to watch is dragons den, not really worth it for just one program ;)

    I'm with Irishbroadband ripwave, it's fine for normal browsing and youtube (once I pause it for a minute or two to let it load) but because RTE wont load while paused, it wont playback properly. Irishbroadband works out about 250 cheaper than the next step up of the options available to me so changing ISP just to watch dragons den wouldn't be worth it ;)
