Lincolnshire broadband week continues
Ok playmates (or meates seeing as this is Lincolnshire broadband week – if you aren’t from around here you might not understand that one me duck) today we have three guest posts talking about how people are taking advantage of their new superfast broadband connection.
At 1pm we have Philip Little of Lincoln based hosted VoIP company talking about how they have seen a huge uptake in hosted voip services since the advent of superfast broadband. Was really nice to come across Bluecube btw – someone doing my thang in my home town (thang is an Americanism – not from Lincolnshire, btw).
Then at 2.30 pm we have my good friend and internationally renowned Hungarian concert pianist Ervin Nagy discusses how he has managed to stop having to commute to Budapest and get more quality time with his family in Lincoln, all thanks to superfast broadband.
Finally at 4pm we have an onlincolnshire.org case study showing how Lincoln based translation company PAB is using hteir new superfast broadband connection to access cloud the based IT services that have revolutionised their business.
It’s very noticeable that case studies are always business oriented. We overlook the fact that superfast broadband has allowed sea changes in the way we use technology at home. Multiple TV streams for the family in multiple rooms. Backups of family photos – how often do you hear of people losing all their precious family photos (“often Tref“). Keeping in touch with the kids using video Hangouts/Facetime/Skype/Facebook. etcetera, etcetera etcetera (as in the movie the King and I). I think I’m losing the plot this morning. I’d better go.
I may add more as they come in. and already have some lined up for tomorrow.
Ciao amigos meates.

One reply on “Today on trefor.net – how people are using their new superfast broadband connection”
When i discovered the startling ease of uploading on a symmetric connection i began sharing lots of video of the kids (in youtube) with older relatives, who can now see their tiny relatives far more often than in person. and of course talking with clients and customers on video hangout and skype is now miles easier. my HD video now means i actually have to tidy up my backdrop etc.
