I recently went though a phase of maddening rebuffering in my synched SB3s, using the Alien Real stream (Radios 3, 4, 7). Although I guessed at bandwidth issues, I'm not sure it was....
I could use the same router to push BBC streams direct to a couple of laptops (ie, not using SC) and they would play fine, with no interruption, while the SBs rebuffered away. I then trimmed out all extraneous bandwith use, and even shut down everything on the server except SC. Still rebuffering. I then shut down Controller - still rebuffering; I un-synched the SBs - still rebuffering (though manybe less so....). I moved the SBs to within a few feet of the router - still rebuffering. I then moved over to the SC iPlayer plug-in, as well as Playlisting the BBC direct WMA streams in SC. Shifted the SBs back to their usual locations. Ran the server as normal. Hooked up and "load-tested" a couple of laptops into the bargain. Synched the SBs. Powered up Controller, as both Controller and Player. No rebuffering *at all* on the SBs using iPlayer plugin, or the WMA streams: not in many hours of continuous streaming, for several days now. Switch back to the Alien Real stream - immediate rebuffering, every few minutes.
