Internet connection @ CDM 2015 venue
« le: 23 mars 2015, à 13:23:59 »
I quote this from my feedback on last year's CDM:

Citer
INTERNET CONNECTION. We really gotta get a better internet connection (preferably not Wifi) as the stream often ran with 1 frame per second and Patrick really had to downgrade the quality of the video to be able to stream at a decent rate at all  :(. Perhaps the organisation can invest in a really good cell phone internet deal for a week/month (or whatever) and use it exclusively for the stream?

Is anyone looking into this?
It would be extremely upsetting if it turned out that we just let another year pass without fixing the issue at all, even when it's very easy to acquire a good internet connection in this day and age (like indeed with 4G cellphone networks and such).

I would fix this myself if I could, but since I am not located in France it is kinda hard for me to arrange a good deal from the French internet market. If someone could please help and keep us posted on this, that would be greatly appreciated.  :D

If I'm not mistaken FF intends to buy a long ethernet câble to avoid wifi issue.
About 4G i'm not sure 4G is available at la Suze... (Did anyone tried last year? I think i only had 3G with Free )

Having it wired would indeed already be an improvement (it will be a little faster and a lot more stable). But a 4G connection would normally be better than the wired connection we have there (assuming it's the same 1 as last years).

If we read this it seem yes for Bouygues (La Suze is SO(SW) from Le Mans) :

Maybe we have to ask to a contact there?

Anyone who lives in this area or has contact with it? To confirm what Djo wrote.  :)

According to Bouygues Telecom's plan, it covers indeed La Suze ;)
Mais surtout, je dois faire un très, très gros aparté, où je ne vais pas y aller avec le dos de la cuillère, sur la partie "SMK = eSport", aspect sur lequel certains se fourrent le doigt dans l'œil jusque dans des zones inexplorées de leur anatomie

Anyways we must have both solutions available (the big wire and the 4G)
To have a plan "B"!

Ok, I just ordered a 50m ethernet cable for CDM.  ;)
That's the plan A.

If anyone has a 4G "Bouygues Telecom" cellphone subscription, that would make plan B...
As far as I'm concerned, I have "Free" and it does not cover La Suze... So it will be only 3G for me.

Where is the 50m cable going to at the other end, just having a long cable won't help unless you have a router to plug it into :)
If you haven't, you really, really need to read this book, it will change your life:

Geo is almost sure there is a modem / router to plug it into.
Maybe neo can confirm ?
Or maybe  tif/tanatix can confirm it with la suze officials from the venue.

Nice job on the cable ScouB, at least this will mean that the connection will be a lot more stable (but still slow).

Anyway, there would have to be a modem/router as we couldn't have streamed previous editions otherwise (no empty ethernet slots available could be the only problem remaining).

There is a bigger problem though; I am assuming that it's the same connection that we've been using in previous years? This connection is quite unimpressive and that's an understatement. We had a barely watchable stream last year even at the lowest streaming bitrates. Only people that are hardcore interested in SMK will be able to bear it. Even having it wired will not really fix this.

Come on, we need a 4G connection guys! Neo confirmed earlier that la Suze is covered with 4G, now we just need someone with a subscription in this area. If there is no one and it turns out we need to get a new one from the area then that's what needs to be done. We can split the costs by like 50 people. Heck, I'll even pay it myself if push comes to shove! How bad can it be? 100 Euro for a year? Well worth the investment for a high quality stream. We just need someone to make the purchase and check the details.

Of course we would need to first verify that la suze 4G is really superior to the venue internet first. I'd say that's a pretty safe bet though.  :P

sure it's a very important point,

but 1 don't know if there an apropiate solution.. because in my opinion the best solution is a 4G Key, but we still limited for download and upload.. i dont know really how long you can stream with 32Gb of data.. (maybe it's enought ?)

because the stream is on long period.. and a lot of hours..

i now ffviman (''bring back'') a 3G/4G key in 2013 or 2014.. but after two days.. the key was empty.

------

bien sur c'est un point important,
mais je ne sait pas vraiment si il existe une solution, a mon avis la meilleur solution est une clé 4G, mais même avec ca nous restons limité en terme de download/upload.. après je me trompe peut être.. mais 32G pour des heures et des heures de stream.. j'ai peut que cela ne soit pas suffisant :/

je me souviens que FF avait ramené une clé 3G ou 4G il y a quelques années.. ett son forfait était épuisé très rapidement..
