Is it legal for me to have explained here?, and bank accounts? How to start? Can I move my existing business offshore

Thanks

We can already block (or very much restrict) Kontiki usage during the daytime using our traffic management platform. But that's really not the same as deliberately scheduling a programme to download overnight, and of course this doesn't work for the flash/streaming version of iPlayer.

We would love to put customers in control of what protocols get priority at what time, perhaps with some sort of desktop app that interfaces with our website/traffic management system to queue programmes up. We'll be very interested to see how Kangaroo develops especially if we can plug it into our traffic control system somehow.

I suppose it's a possibility, but for the foreseeable future doesn't seem very likely. If you have a look at the third graph on our network page (the multi-coloured one showing different traffic types) there are very pronounced peaks and troughs. Overnight we're less than 50% utilised so there is a massive amount of bandwidth available. I'll ask Dave T to work out how many episodes of time-shift Dr Who required to fill the network overnight

Hopefully ‘Kangaroo’ will have this built in. Does Plusnet foresee overnight bandwidth becoming limited if large numbers of people start using iplayer etc during this period?

I look forward to the blog explaining how plans are being developed to expand bandwidth across the whole UK network. We hear a lot about how users use too much, but not very much about how ISPs are doing everything in their power to meet demand.

Simply adding sufficient capacity to match peak demand leaves a lot of unused (and unpaid for!) capacity in the troughs.

great blog by the way Mr A!
