End of Day: 22nd August

August 22nd, 2008 at 06:09 pm by Dave Tomlinson

Another week draws to a close and so it’s time for the final end of day for this week. We also have the bank holiday this week and a little bit of research we’ve seen suggests that around two thirds of people will be staying home over the weekend because of a combination of the current economic climate, the weather forecast and fuel prices. All in all means we’ll be keeping a close eye on the network so that everything performs for those that decide to go online. More…

Bolt's 200m Record an iPlayer Hit

August 20th, 2008 at 05:11 pm by Dave Tomlinson

Congratulations to Jamaica’s Usain Bolt who has just added the 200m Olympic gold to his collection with a new world record time of 19.3s.

Plusnet customers “tuned in” via the BBC’s iPlayer to see the victory; we saw an increase in traffic from iPlayer of around 250Mbps just before the start of the race going from just under 700Mbps to 934Mbps falling just short of yesterday’s high of 954Mbps of iPlayer traffic. More…

Online Olympic Coverage - More and More turn to the BBC iPlayer

August 19th, 2008 at 03:31 pm by Dave Tomlinson

It’s probably no surprise to anyone that people are watching the Olympics online. Decent quality streams from a legitimate and easy to use source, iPlayer from the BBC for UK viewers is a convenient choice, particularly when you aren’t near a television.

NBC Universal in the USA reports that 4.2 million watched the opening ceremony via their website, increasing to 7.8 million by Monday. It wouldn’t surprise me if even more were watching online by the start of the second week. More…
