Re: [Coworking] Solution for lots of people streaming music

[Randall G. Arnold]

I'm sure every shared space runs into bandwidth hogs.  Ultimately you need to craft a usage policy of some sort, trying to find balance between fun/work.  It's only natural that you'll identify some forbidden uses (porn, et al) if not immediately then over time as the need develops.   I would suggest to music streamers that they should use their mobile plans for that, and that the space bandwidth is for productivity.  Blocking certain services outright, as corporate environs tend to, can get sticky but you may have no choice if users insist on hogging bandwidth for entertainment purposes and it impacts those trying to actually get work done.   You can also set quotas per IP address, from your router, and let each user determine how they want to use that allocation.   Randy Tarrant Makers   On February 17, 2014 at 11:27 AM Angel Kwiatkowski <fccowork...@gmail.com> wrote: Looks like about everyone is streaming music while at Cohere so it's putting a strain on our bandwidth.
