Thanks Kitz for the information.
It's re-assuring when an ISP does report how they are coping with a peak load.
It is hoped that high priority traffic such as VOIP will continue through these conditions.
There are some interesting articles on the TBB site here:-
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/i/4282.htmlhttp://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/i/4283.htmlWhat was concerning me was, just with this evidence of a mainly national interest, how our communications infrastructure will cope during the Olympics.
It's possible that much Olympic traffic will escape from the UK direct via satellite links but I suspect that there will still be overwhelming and un-tested traffic routed through the UK infrastructure?
We've read of the immediate infrastructure being installed to link the many Olympic activity sites, but I wonder who decides (pays for and maintains) the whole of the National facilities which will almost certainly produce unprecedented peak traffic? Given that we're still some way off the date, newer video devices such as smart phones and touch pads will increase over the intervening period, are the affects even on mobile networks being given sufficient attention ?
Kind regards,
Walter
