The government says it now believes that the country’s internet infrastructure will be able to cope with demand during the Olympic Games. The Cabinet Office had previously told businesses to prepare counter measures in case internet service providers (ISPs) introduced download limits or even experienced failures. However, it said it now believes efforts to address extra demand has offset these risks. Business groups have welcomed the news. The Cabinet Office’s Preparing Your Business For The Games report, issued in February said: “In very severe cases there may be drop-outs due to an increased number of people accessing the internet. In addition, ISPs may introduce data caps during peak times to try and spread the loading and give a more equal service to their entire customer base.”
