Velocity1 and BBC


We've got few visits from BBC to show up our 100Mbit/s service called Boost. It's a pretty good marketing idea
and good for the people who are using file sharing and HD streaming applications (like cisco video conference systems) etc. 

BBC did few tests described in the link bellow - the first test was with iPlayer (BBC application) and iTunnes
apperantly they weren't happy with the iTunnes because it was showing 10mins to get the movie so we had
to explain to them that we don't have control on 3th party servers and the idea behind the garantee of some capacity
is that we have the promissed bandwidht to our uplink providers and after that we don't have any control. 

They also did another "Web based speed test" which showed 78Mbit/s downlink and 50Mbit/s uplink BUT
most of these web based speed tests are based on the average broadband connectivity in UK.

CompTIA+

Sometimes you just need a good distraction, and I randomly got the urge to study for an exam;  something I haven't done in years. I decided to look into network security and started watching some CompTIA training videos, and...it was all a bit too familiar. Apparently the search continues.
