Hello hello hello... it's my first time at editing the End of Week. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of updates this week and most people have now gone home for the weekend so I can't round up the troops. Never mind gives me plenty of chance to waffle on about stuff 'n' nonsense really. I could say it's been a busy week this week, but I won't... As you've probably seen (especially if like me you've been to London) we're all over the place with posters and adverts, a couple of which are pictured below (excuse my bad photography and bad Wordpress skills) which is all very exciting.
More excitement is being had in the form of our Fibre to the Cabinet trial. Our first four customers are now live and seeing speeds around or above 20Mbps, they will shortly be joined by a further six whose orders we've placed this week and we'll be contacting more customers next week. At the moment the trial is only available in two areas of the country (Muswell Hill in London and Whitchurch in Wales). A third exchange (Glasgow Halfway) will be added in the next month or so. So if you're in one of those areas keep a listen out for a call or a lookout for an email. Enough pre-amble, let's hear what HR have been up to coutesy of Barbara:
Well I returned to ‘sunny’ Sheffield after a two week break, and have spent my week getting up to date with all HR goings on in my absence, which has included a lot of time updating our Ciphr HR records.
We’ve all been involved with recruitment activities, such as advertising, inductions, arranging interviews etc.
Gemma has worked on “Best Companies” admin which you’ll be hearing about again very shortly; as well analysing absence statistics.
We’ve also welcomed Laura on to our HR team, and with Jen she has been working on a handover, so that their first job share week runs smoothly.
And that's all for today, I will share a small graph though before I sign off. This is the graph of ITVPlayer traffic for the week, as you can see there's a nice spike on Wednesday for the football. The BBC's iPlayer gets a lot of press but people often forget the other broadcasters have similar online TV services. I think 114Mbps is the highest we've seen for ITVPlayer since we started detecting it. Interesting to see that Saturday's friendly only did about half as much. Now to see if I can schedule some training with our colleagues over in South Africa during the World Cup 
Enjoy the weekend everyone and catch you again same Plusnet time, same Plusnet channel.
