Here at nsmmedia we have a passion for all things to do with video production from live streaming to offline editing films and short videos.
We mainly do Wildlife films and live streams and also host Live Quiz's. Also have an interest in Broadcasting including presentation (Idents) and also retro tech.
I get really poor results in the web browsing test, but it's fine when I switched over to my old Sky FTTC connection (using ethernet for both). Any ideas if it's the network that's got routing problems?
@@nsmmedia I've set up a thinkbroadband monitor and noticed a lot of background packet loss with squirrel, looks like they're using cogent for their traffic.
@@abver092 That's right, although nowadays the best design for big broadcasters is to have a multi-site design. Basically half your channels in one location, and half your channels in another location and an ability to be able to switch all the channels between the two sites. That is a much more secure way of offering disaster recovery
@@ginjanner So, just for clarification, if a station in London (main output station) had a situation in which their studio was either temporarily unusable or destroyed, they could switch to a backup station in Birmingham to be the main output for the channel (for example) and it would be DR mode?
@abver092 that’s correct. Some broadcasters like BBC run in dual mode where both London and Salford are up and running so if one goes down the other can take over instantly. Other broadcasters don’t have a hot site so in a DR situation there would be a period of downtime before the DR site is bought online and takes over.
Depends on the ISP (fibre heroes are a wholesaler like Openreach) IDnet and Squirrel give you a static IPV4 by default and other ISPs like BeFibre are CGNAT by default but offer static IPv4 as an add on for a few £ more per month
I got hold of a copy (yes copy lol) of the bluray OFAH boxset so to see how good the picture quality was and to see if they were uncut. I was very impressed by The Jolly Boys Outing, the picture quality looked stunning, particularly the shots of the coach at the pub car park and the scenes at the fairground. Althought lacking in brightness, contrast and saturation it did bring out alot of details like skin tones and peoples clothing. Royal Flush (both the uncut "writers cut" and the longer version) the quality was also excellent, especially the scenes at the market with Rodney and Del. This is likely due to the outside scenes being shot on film rather than video making upscailing to HD better.
In my case I'm living in temporary accomodation, mobile so i can't have a fixed landline installed, this is my only option for internet, finding the right spot for best connection is true tho, ive enevn had to wall mount it at one point just to get the best speed, wasn't a fun experience 😂😂
Hi not quite sure what you mean sorry, the LAGG in my case is the LAGG trunk interface made up of 2x 10GbE links between my router and switch which trunks all my VLANs. I do use Gateway groups for WAN failover between my FTTP and 5G but as with a PPP connection you have to link to an interface you can use this for failover of the VPN but you have to choose both interfaces in the PPP config.
@@nsmmedia I assumed you were just having failover on the LAGG but obviously more involved than that. I might try and use A&A's L2TP for an email server on their £2 a month 3mb...
And now, another classic episode from 1968 with Patrick Troughton as Doctor Who... Wrestling with the Invincible forces in... *Echo voice* The Mind Robber
Ive bit the bullet and bought tp link mr600 router along with poynting xpol 1 5g external antenna (futureproofing). Results are great, much faster than my adsl connection - plus on pre pay smarty unlimited meaning no long contracts.
woow cool, it is a lot of cables. Do you have some tool for documenting and diagramming all of that stuff, or you just use these labels, to make sure you unplug right cables?
@@nsmmedia Yes i understand, but i noticed that devices are labeled in some way, so i thought that you have some digital documentation of the rack or some network diagram software. I would like to build little setup for one friend, but i do not know what to use to document it.
While I don’t have a full network diagram kept digitally (it’s kept in my head lol) I do have a spreadsheet of IP address, Vlans etc. Also use PRTG to map and monitor my network. I have used MS Visio in the past to do network and rack diagrams. Trouble is finding software that is free as most only offer basic stuff for free then charge. Good luck with your build 👍
Hey, love the video! It would be nice during the long talks to be getting up close with the kit. Love the chat and detail but some b roll close ups in between would be awesome.
Do you think that above ground cabinet needs steel bollards, set in concrete, to protect it from accidents from cars or trucks? I'd hate to see it get damaged.
I'm on the zte, but external antenna ports don't support lte and 5g n3 band, plus one of the ts9 port snapped already. Ordered zyxel today, so I can use my poynting antenna for better signal
If you’re in your cooling off period then yes you do have the right to cancel your contract. You may also be able to leave if you’re not achieving the minimum guaranteed speed they gave you and have not been able to improve it. I manged to get out of a contract as our mast was having issues for ages.
@@nsmmedia i’m out of the cooling off period, but it has been working better the last couple of days. I will cancel it when my contract ends, you can’t beat fibre optic broadband. I only got 3 as its the cheapest, but as you know theres a reason for it
I took out their L2TP service a few years ago so I could get IPv6 access as well as a fixed IPv4. It took me ages to set up as a few of the more 'bog standard' routers I tried would do the L2TP connection, but would not get any IPv6 access through it. I eventually settled on a £20 Mikrotik router which does the job nicely (although I had to learn RouterOS in the process!). I switched to the Light service a few months ago as I'm predominantly just using my CGNAT connection now for most things, and save the L2TP for VoIP etc.
They leave a loop as they will need multiple attempts teminating the Fibre, has anyone had an installation with correct cable clips or do they just use 8mm round like on mine #Yehaaa #get off ya horse and drink ya milk #Cowboys
I found this video interesting and informative. It probably makes more sense to those people in the industry as I found a lot of the acronyms made it a little bit impenetrable for the layman. Nonetheless, thank you for the cabinet tour.
