As we in the UK are about 190 days from our Olympics I thought I would raise the question to CCP about what precautions are you taking for continuity during this time?
Many of you will ask what has the Olympics to do with Eve?
Well as I understand it Eve is hosted at the Docklands in London. During the Olympics there will be extremely heavy internet traffic into and out of this area both local and worldwide and this could have an impact on Eve traffic if the backbones get overloaded.
Most people know, especially us living in the UK, that our broadband infrastructure is not shall we say GÇÿthe best in the worldGÇÖ and with many people using IPlayers, internet TV and other GÇÿcatch upGÇÖ players the service could deteriorate to such an extent that lag on Eve could be a problem.
So CCP have you thought about the above, just asking?

I heard they have a strict training regiment for their power-supplying server-hamsters. Daily training, strict diets, stocking up on steroids, preparing for the blood doping...the usual pre-olympic preparations. |

Excellent response.
OP: I'm SURE the Olympic committee has ensured that there is PLENTY of necessary bandwidth on the days...........along with the British Government and telecoms, etc.
Now, stop WORRYING yourself and take that VALIUM. You are making US nervous.

That's somewhat of an understatement, our broadband infrastructure generally dates back at least 50 years. It is only relatively recently that the main player in the game, BT, started installing more up to date infrastructure, and even then they only did so due to competition from the likes of Virgin. War hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. |

Yes CCP spend money updating Britain's ageing infrastructure off your own back even though it has nothing what so ever to do with you.
I think the OP hasn't thought this through. |

If some terrorists manage to blow up the infrastructure during the Olympics, do we get free AURUM? Unbanned since 2011.10.20. |

So CCP have you thought about the above, just asking?
UK is fine, it's your service that sucks, don't tar me with your brush of shame.
From memory, the UK backbone throughput is very high, especially in Docklands - if it's lower than 50 gb/s I'd be amazed.
As for congestion - ever heard of KPI's or SLA's or Five 9's?
No way there will be an issue, maybe for people with sucky internet connections, but not major companies with extensive clauses and peering arrangements that would make your average n00b's head explode.
Worry about something important, like the threat of Nuclear Holocaust.

Lol, I wouldn't be worried for a second, London is one of the best connected cities on the planet or did you think the finance world used dialup?

I'm pretty sure the server is connected directly to a backbone, so bandwidth isn't an issue once it gets out of the server itself. |

CCP will put condoms on all of the male hamsters to make sure if the servers get F@#ked they dont get a nasty virus Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs. |
