I'm on linux (xubuntu) and have a local DNS cache set up with dnsmasq. I use Google DNS at 8.8.8.8. My ISP is TalkTalk, getting around 30Mbps. I haven't had issues with drop outs on HLS or DASH for quite a while now. Maybe I'm just lucky.
So, try a few DNS servers and see if anything changes. If it does, then investigate ways to improve DNS response times, using different servers or even a local cache of some form. I'm afraid I'm very much an amateur meddler in such matters. Are you using HLS (as per this thread's instructions) or the newer DASH version? If changing DNS doesn't help, something else must be causing problems. Are you sure your local network is good? Is it wired or wireless? What platform are you on? There should be logs available that you could turn on and post on the iPlayer thread - hopefully someone there will be able to see more about what's going on.
