The BBC iPlayer speed checker was a useful tool for those chasing to see how their connection might perform for video streaming, but alas the tool appears to have been retired and looks set to be replaced by a table showing what speeds different types of iPlayer content will require.

I have provided links to both test websites in the Useful Links section.

Try them both and see the difference.

The Multi Media Live Blog will still be run separately as it offers different information for web developers and designers, also FREE nifty tools and programs (worth a visit)

You can still contact me via the links on both websites

Hello and welcome to my new website.

I will be adding more content in the next few weeks.

The content will be Home and small network related including Home WiFi.

I often review new equipment related to networking and the odd device connected to on-line gaming.

Check back soon to see what’s new.

Thanks

Darren
