A. It’s our understanding that the Home Hub will manage the broadband bandwidth to ensure that there’s enough bandwidth for on-demand TV content without judders, while still leaving bandwidth for other Internet activities. This is called QoS (Quality of Service), and ensures that video packets get higher priority than other traffic. According to BT Vision’s site, there will be at least 0.5MB left for other broadband users connected via the Home Hub, which should be enough for your son to use for gaming, surfing and emails.
