I know it's only October but my boss is talking about people using VPN to remotely access our systems and monitor stuff this year on the week between Christmas and New Year whereas people have had to go into the office for 6 hours per day.

My question is, is 'Christmas week' metered or unmetered?

Hi pctech.

Unless things are changing, Bank Holiday's etc. are all normal days in Freeolaland.

The good news is that your boss can always pay for any over usage which isn't much for a GB or 3 :¬)

What do you for a living?
Any systems monitoring via VPN shouldn't take a lot - it's only video that really hammers things.

NB. Don't forget to update your Broadband thread if there have been any developments :¬)

Software and Online Service tech support for an educational institution.

We also keep an eye on the servers and connectivity and alert the technicians if anything goes for a lie down and we can't wake it up again.

I'd be running a VoIP application to take any customer calls (which are normally minimal) along with Siebel Customer Relationship Management software that runs in a browser so that I can log any queries I do have to deal with and answer any e-mail that comes in during Christmas Day (and yes it does) hence the need for the VPN.

It'll certainly be nicer than having to go out in the cold and when I'm done I can reach for a beer without delay :)
