That's the thing, they haven't. Betting online shops go through the sudden high volume near big events, massively near Grand National and can cope with it. However they spend the money to cope with it. Argos is just sitting there turning over income with no real big 'hit' so they don't bother spending the money to cope with sudden high demand. It's a catch 22 (I think I'm using this right) where by if they spend the money to cope for the very few times a year they may be down due to high demand they may be wasting money in the periods they aren't yet if they don't spend the money, they go down at peak times costing them money. |
some sort of third party arrangement could potentially be sorted out for a sort of "renting" of digital backbone for a week or so?
