I never had any problems with 36meg either Mike. Netflix etc all worked fine and the service was very stable. I would have stayed with that but why pay more for a slower service. I'll be interested to see if service levels remain the same at the higher speed.

I remember reading somewhere that the domestic download speeds now available usually exceed the delivery speeds from the content providers' servers ... I'm not sure if that's true anymore with the likes of BT's CDNs etc

Which is how it should be. A content provider's server should stream at a rate that gives the quality they want, removing the consumer's connection as a potential bottleneck improves the ability to do that. Remember though that in many households more than one streaming service is in use simultaneously by several devices, therefore it is essential that the broadband connection exceeds a single virtual connection's demands. Once above 200mbps for the internet connection, the limitation becomes the home network (WIFI usually) and people are now looking at using CAT3 wiring to utilise the raw connection speed.

Morning all. Rain has finally stopped, and there's the prospect of some sunshine later this morning. Going to make the most of it and get out for a good walk with Mabel.

Good morning campers. Be careful where you put those tents.

Morning all. Some clear, dry days would be nice now for a few rides. Truly fed up with all the rain.

Wouldn't it just! Although I'm in Macc hospital at the moment getting my back sorted so ideally the dry weather could wait until I'm out

garynortheast · 14-11-23, 09:36 AM

Ow! Hope they sort it properly for you Craig.

I'm at the hospital too but for my wife. She's having a brittle bone infusion.
