My DSL line runs on demand from 80kb/s to 768 kb/s. I usually listen at 100kb/s. If I tell it 3xx+ kb/s, that is when I see the exagarated slow speed on Windows. Look for stations that stream using MP3. For a long time, the only consistent audio I could get over the Internet was a small station in Southern Mexico - http://www.cortv.com/. They introduced me to MP3 audio. Network congestion would come and go and I could still listen to them. The bit-rate is really small and mono but it all contributed to listening.
