| Here's some advice on how to fix ALL our speed issues:
Fire BBS as your network management provider, throw some decent proxies up to cache http, youtube, and popular bit torrent downloads, and get some real Network Engineers. Once you have these things in place, get some *actual* network management going, setting priorities on specific protocols (i.e. web traffic is bulk, VoIP traffic is premium, and various p2p traffic routed to look *WITHIN* your network for on-net peers), and start beta testing smaller markets.
10:1 says you'll see a decrease in your internet links, and most of your customers using BitTorrent will be feeding off each other from *within* their local network. Caching popular web content should cause the biggest decrease in your internet links, as if 50% of your customers see a viral video on CNN, another 50% of them are likely to try viewing it themselves.
And finally, work smarter, not harder. |
