Mandela memorial bandwidth

[daveza]

A lot of our clients are complaining about slow internet - and also that they can't stream the memorial on YouTube...

Seeing as it's being streamed to the world I would guess our networks are all under stress ?

It seems the whole net is slow at the moment .

We streaming it from enca.com

Seems fine

eNCA stream going smooth.

I'm watching the stream on youtube. It's using about 1-2Mbps, and dropping to 0 once it's buffered enough.

We also had a few of those calls to allow YouTube through the firewall followed by complaints of slow Internet...

I can usually stream 480/720 content fine, memorial I can't even stream 240 without buffering.

I've been experiencing unbearably slow Internet speeds today across different exchanges and ISPs on ADSL, and on 3G with MTN. I reckon it's from the memorial service - check these stats from JINX, it looks like the peak is almost 3Gb/s higher than usual!

Not only streaming but transmission links for broadcasters as well...

Heard that Telkom brought forward their freeze period and are not allowing any new refs to be registered. Only existing refs can be executed. This will not impact on us normal users... unless you required major infrastructure build to get a link!

I'm astounded he can even manage that. In fact I'm surprised he can read at all. And I bet the words are all spelled phonetically.
