Bandwidth

The ADSL connection in the barn is currently only providing 256kb up and 2mb down. This is less than BT suggested it would do and it turns out that BT did no enable ADSL2 for our line like they promised.

Andy is chasing the man from BT to see if they will actually do this for this dig season. The impact of this is that we currently only have enough upstream to run one of the webcams. We have used QOS features of the firewall in the barn to give the camera up to 128kb and prevent the camera from eating all of the bandwidth we have available.

Our 2mb down is less of a problem but it seems like the archaeologists on site are only managing to stream one game of tennis from Wimbledon at a time, let’s hope that there are no clashes on the timetable :)
