Why We Need High-Speed Broadband Connectivity: London2012, Bell Ringing World Record Lincoln Cathedral

I’m working from home this morning – car is in first thing having something sorted. At 8am I nipped round to Lincoln Cathedral to film the London2012 world record bell ringing attempt. There were 7 bell ringers in Minster Yard as well as the ones inside the cathedral. A small but perfectly formed bunch:)

Anyway I got home and immediately started to upload the 500Meg video file to YouTube – time is of the essence in the news business. What a waste of time. I have one kid downloading Ubuntu for RaspberryPi and two others engaging in online warfare with unknown foe.

Decent levels of broadband connectivity bandwidth are clearly an everyday necessity.

The video is still on the phone so it is probably uploading to Google+ quietly in the background, hogging some bandwidth.

Roll on superfast with stripes connectivity.

I always use the good QoS (Quality of Service) which I am sure you know what it is; so I just choose my laptop/desktop as the highest priority and set everything else as low!

I suggest you get a router with QoS available. I have the Netgear N600 🙂
