Re: [OT] Managing internet access and implications in a holiday let.

[Robin Edwards <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a holiday cottage I let in my garden.  I use a Draytek router -
has
multiple SSIDs so cottage only has access to internet and no other wireless
or
wired devices.  I implemented bandwidth limiting and QOS as well (actually
I had
to use QOS for my vodafone suresignal box).

Q2 is more of a challenge.  I'm probably exposed here (no pun intended) ...
most
naughty things would probably take all week to download.

the local exchange does not offer services via unbundled local loop. This
either limits me to using BT or a 40GB monthly cap using other providers.
using Netflix we can get through 20GB in 3 days so 40GB does not seem a lot
these days.
