No more leaving the PC running overnight.

During the second day of LINX (which appears to be the same day that you wrote this!) <br /><br />Usually when this has happened in the past, it's also been the day that Microsoft Update has appeared in the corners of all the office computers, performing its monthly whinge. And Tuesday was no different, at least for my laptop. Although "patch tuesday" is supposedly a week earlier this month.<br /><br />I should probably look at the Netflow data for that day to confirm my hypothesis... :)Tom Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737909855372904165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-10170431108538978872012-02-23T14:23:39.601+00:002012-02-23T14:23:39.601+00:00HD stereoscopic dolphin porn?HD stereoscopic dolphin porn?Andrew Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559103554821540335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-64667087655838092552012-02-22T15:05:30.272+00:002012-02-22T15:05:30.272+00:00What time of day/week are we maxing out your links...What time of day/week are we maxing out your links?<br /><br />Are you going to make off-peak more expensive and peak rate cheaper again?Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03966315140468441049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-35202636218285732422012-02-22T12:52:42.264+00:002012-02-22T12:52:42.264+00:00I'm going for the Netflix UK launch.

I guess you're probably getting through a lot more because of the number of FTTC lines that are going in, people that were maxing out lines that were only capable of 4-5mb/s probably went un-noticed, but now they have 10 times that suddenly it gets noticed a bit moreJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15433960551945208728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-14881673305762214612012-02-21T21:29:49.559+00:002012-02-21T21:29:49.559+00:00Wild guess based on habits here - more of the &quo...Wild guess based on habits here - more of the "high def" iPlayer and that seems to amount to about 1-1.2GB/hour compared to standard def that's around 380-400MB/hour.<br /><br />I'm not one of your customers though, so you can't blame me :)The Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561063207545406257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-1229501598713627332012-02-21T21:29:39.949+00:002012-02-21T21:29:39.949+00:00Wild guess based on habits here - more of the &quo...Wild guess based on habits here - more of the "high def" iPlayer and that seems to amount to about 1-1.2GB/hour compared to standard def that's around 380-400MB/hour.<br /><br />I'm not one of your customers though, so you can't blame me :)The Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561063207545406257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-7257842289566849782012-02-21T20:54:54.655+00:002012-02-21T20:54:54.655+00:00Netflix USA for me.
