Suggestion for a good test session...

[Kaptein Skande]

I have a suggestion for a good testing session. Maybe someone at Sentech also thinks this might give them valuable info to work with.

Take an event like Mayhem, 160-180 people. Everyone has their own PC.

All Sentech needs to do is
- a temp username and password
- a modem
- a piece of paper with details of installing the modem and setting up the account

Now with 160+ poeple setup for lets say 10 hours testing the downloads and latency and what ever Sentech needs us to help test, they must get some usefull data. This can be a 1 or 2 day event where Sentech can get massive testing done with people who REALLY want to see this service work.

And at the end of the testing session they just take back the modems and disable the temp accounts.

How about it?

yes but that would be from a single location. Not a very conclusive test.

Jip, but alteast you know that if you share a tower with so many people what the effects will be. Think it's atleast one GOOD test to do.

and how modems would get damaged or go missing?

wouldnt that just be awesome? free internet with a good excuse. NO. you expect 160 ppl to download? thats not tooo smart.. on a 3mbit modem what speed u expect to get 2k? you do know without port shaping someone will leech the bandwidth and the rest of you will bitch, why not all play online from 1 lan. Enjoy you lan for what it is, Mywireless aint designed specifically for a 160 people server. especially 1 modem. its more medium to small enterprises and home users.

No, he meant give a "modem" (wtf? why does everyone call DSL routers, ISDN TAs, and so on "modems"?) to every person at the LAN, and let them go wild. I actually think it's a reasonably good idea, since something like that could occur quite easily under normal operating conditions too.

Thanx mithrandi, atleast someone can read.

1 modem per person.

160 users on the 1 tower (what ever they call it)

Now I don't know how many they are going to limit to a tower or the amount of traffic 1 tower can handle but atleast you could get some sort of figures from this.

Modems going missing...when you enter you sign the legal document (they setup) and get the modem (with serial number) and you don't leave with your PC if you didnt return it. Shouldn't be hard to get 160 non criminal gamers.

O/T

Well technicaly it is a "modem" since the digital signal has to be modulated into an RF signal.
