I read somewhere that services such as VOB and these TV services use a different wavelength (1550 nm) to the standard upload/download wavelengths (1310/1490 nm) on fibre which I guess makes it easier to meter the real FUP data.

ED E wrote: » IPTV is sent multicast. So every station reaches every cabinet 24/7 every day whether anyone is watching. (FTTH cases its every OLT). That means if 0 watch or 200 the traffic for 90% of the route is the same with a little usage on the last mile. So they arent paying peering fees so it doesnt count for your cap. Whats interesting is with FTTC the traffic is entirely "free" to the operator as its only on one line so not streaming it would save nothing. With FTTH thats not true, and zero rated IPTV traffic still contends the 1:64 fibres. When you estimate provisioning for contention limits its always been conventional IP traffic, so 300:1 could be ok. But if you move the broadcast in there, how many households do you know where the TV is just left on?.... NB: Video On Demand + Apps etc are not multicast and will be counted. Only live via the STB is zero rated.

If every time you changed channel there was a 3s handshake to chain back through the DSLAM, NGA Node, WEIL handoff and Operator IPTV node users would all go back to sky in an instant. Doesnt explicitly say always on, but my understanding is it is. Bandwidth to the DSLAMs isnt really an issue. @BogStandardUser will be able to give a firm answer on that one.

The main villages of Pallasgreen, Nicker, Old Pallas and Kilteely which the exchange serves have not been wired up with Fibre as of yet. The exchange building is in the townland of Cloverfield about 6 Kilometres west from Pallasgreen village on the main N24 road. There is plenty of Fibre cables around the country side nort and west of the exchange building. It has reached Dromkeen village on the same main road. There is fibre cable going up towards Kilteely village but it doesn't cross the Old Pallas to Hebertstown road. Kilteely is around 5 Km south from the exchange.

Dates in general seem to pushed back all around Limerick - hope they sort it out sooner rather than later.
