Very slow internet
« on: 12 March 2009, 18:52:41 »
Been very slow since teatime and beginning to wonder what the problem was.

Suddenly realised - my daughter is watching Waterloo Road and it failed to record, so watching it streamed via BT Vision.

This leaves very little for me to surf!

The file size is pretty huge

I worked out about 0.5GB for 40 minutes streamed live so about 3/4GB for Waterloo Road

to Paris about the same.

I have to say though we're on a random IP addresses and it's normally faster on the 90.197 or 90.195 IP's, this is an odd 90.204 one.
