Where I live, people would be happy using DAB but the streaming thing ain't quite caught on yet.
Broadband speeds are not an issue, it averages 40 meg but the general population is split between new age millennials and old timers.
DAB reception here can be a bit hit & miss at times, the main networks can come from any TX, I can receive primarily from the Midlands, Winter Hill sometimes works and Liverpool on a good day.
There are too many regions on DAB, it's confusing at times trying to figure out where it's coming from, I usually stick to Kisstory, it's regional and plays old skool, nowt wrong with that.
P.S. I'm a 90's kid with an interest in 60's stuff, go figure.
