We currently peer with a large amount of ISPs, so we have good
connectivity to pretty much everywhere:
http://support.bbc.co.uk/support/network/
I presume your upstream provider is he.net, do they peer anywhere in that
map?

Currently all the ogg streams are fed from one place, we are waiting on
icecast to properly support splitting, although we are working on a hack
ourselves. The best way to get better service is to email
oggfeedback at bbc.co.uk

with what you think, as with most companies, we are driven by management
that follow public demand (apparently), so the more support the better.
