Guest Geniarse Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Bandwidth - I'm sure they have plenty the SPV has only shipped 40,000 units (Orange's figures)...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Words of wisdom from the spacemonkey :) P
Guest Jeeves Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 AFTER the meeting??? That could mean a year from today! lol yeah orange meetings probably do take a year because thats how long it is before someone makes a knowledgeable comment :)
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 You British people are pretty crap at releasing anything on time aren't you? (I'm really gonna feel the heat for saying that one!) LoL.Spike. *Denial of service, Denial of service, Denial of service* I see it coming....a Denial of Service attack. Too many users overloads the servers, causing a crash in the Orange web-site....oh well, too bad. I don't think so mate, there are 180 odd users on the board waiting at the mo, now lets say that twice that many download (6MB) as it's released. Thats 360 users.... DOS? i don't think so!
Guest fraser Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 I'm in agreement with ClintEastman etc. It's a 6M file and this ain't Slashdot!
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 For a couple of months I've been blaming my tiredness on waiting for the update. But ....I'm tired because I'm overworked. The population of this country is 65 million. 35 million are retired. That leaves 30 million to do the work. There are 20 million in school, which leaves 10 million to do the work. Of this there are 3 million unemployed, leaving 7 million to do the work. Take from that 3,100,000 people who work for government departments and that leaves 3,900,000 people to do the work. 2,580,000 are in the armed forces, which leaves 1,320,000 to do the work. At any one time, there are 450,000 people in hospitals, leaving 870,000 people to do the work. At the moment, there are 869,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me, and you're sitting reading MoDaCo! No wonder I'm F***ing Tired!
Guest DJHope Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Orange - not just world firsts, but also world lasts! (look at the GMT)!!!
Guest Bandit Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Deep breaths all round - make a cup of tea, take a walk... I 've just had an email from my contact in Orange - he rang their Senior Product Manager for Business Devices who confirmed that the update IS still planned for release today. Patience is a virtue.
Guest spikex Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 I don't think so mate, there are 180 odd users on the board waiting at the mo, now lets say that twice that many download (6MB) as it's released. Thats 360 users.... DOS? i don't think so! Somehow I think theirs more than 360 people who are going to download this update. And you know what Orange are like....bloody incompetent.

Guest fraser Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 I'm getting it right now!! :) It's stopped already! Looks like we do actually have a mini DOS going on! Should someone post it on this board when they get it, or is the bandwidth of this host not quite up to the task?
Guest spikex Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 I'm getting an impressive 1Kb/sec download speed on my 576kbps ADSl connection...No Denial of service hey?
