Why are there stops or gaps while listening to a Get TOEFL test section?
A. Excessive buffering, and/or delays in connectivity are all usually due to stressed or strained bandwidth on the part of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the bandwidth which your ISP has available for Internet connectivity. Please understand that many Internet users are probably connected to your ISP – especially during the peak daytime hours – which can cause congested lines and use up most or all of the bandwidth. If you are accessing our services through a Local Area Network (LAN), you may experience similar problems as a result of the number of users and/or PCs on your LAN. This condition is almost always temporary, and if you try back later, you will usually experience better results. You may also experience these types of problems when your computer’s resources are limited. Try not to run other applications while accessing streaming media.
