I know the page says this applied to WMP 7 but I've seen a lot of pages that say errors don't apply to newer releases when, in fact, they do

I believe this solved the problem. By manually setting the connection speed, the player seems do be doing just fine. The article explains how to edit the registry to set a high connection speed in media player 7. Media player 7.1 however has a manual selection option and is present in player 10 as well.

I owe you a brew Sonic!
