Virgin Media Increases 'Standard' Broadband To 100Mbps

Broadband arms race continues with Virgin Media now offering 100Mbps as the default line speed
Virgin Media has thrown down a challenge with the news that its default line speed is now quicker than the top speed offered by rival Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
It has made ultrafast broadband standard with new bundles, which means that customers should be to enjoy speeds of 100Mbps and above as standard.
And if 100Mbps is not fast enough, Virgin Media has now raised the top line speed for consumers from 200Mbps to 300Mbps, from the end of March.
Need For Speed?
The decision by Virgin Media to revamp its broadband bundles and offer ultrafast speeds of 100Mbps and above as standard, is an aggressive move in the fiercely competitive broaband advertising arena.
Quite how anyone would fully utilise the bandwidth from a 100Mbps (or 300Mbps) connection remains to be seen, but Virgin Media was quick to point out that the top speed from Openreach in comparison is 76Mbps.
Virgin Media has also launched the Virgin TV V6 box, will be included in the new Mix, Fun and Full House bundles. And existing customers can upgrade their boxes to the Virgin TV V6 box, with pricing varying depending on the package taken.
"By beefing up our bundles we're leaving our competitors in the rear view mirror, starting where they finish," explained Tom Mockridge, CEO of Virgin Media. "Eye-watering speeds, a better box and top-notch TV is a winning combination.
"More and more switchers tell us they are joining Virgin Media for our faster speeds and we understand why – whether it's 4K Netflix, box sets in multiple rooms or online gaming, the best entertainment requires the best broadband and we're making sure our customers are covered with these bundles at incredible value," he said.
Virgin Media apparently launched its TV V6 box towards the end of last year, and it is being touted as the smallest, smartest and fastest box yet from the company. It allows people to record six shows while watching a seventh. It also supports 4K Ultra-High Definition and comes with 1TB of storage allowing 500 hours of SD recordings or 100 hours of HD recordings.
Network Expansion
Virgin Media of course operates its own network and is not dependent on BT Openreach lines, most of which are deployed via the fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) approach.
Earlier this month Virgin Media revealed it was connecting 38,000 homes to its broadband network in Edinburgh and West Lothian, as part of the ongoing 'Project Lightning' expansion programme.
It has also connected two million properties to fibre to the premise (FTTP), and will connect 4m properties to its cable network by 2019 – half of which will be FTTP broadband.

Izhevsk. Udmurtia. Coronavirus medics have occupied most of the updated Udmurtia Hall of Fame. This was reported by the press service of the head and government of the Udmurt Republic.
The honor roll was renewed for the 100th anniversary of the statehood of Udmurtia and the Day of National Unity. 50 people and 13 teams were brought to it. These are people who have invested their energy and professionalism in the well-being and prosperity of the republic - villagers, teachers, researchers, production workers.
This year, doctors have taken a special place. Thus, the staff of the Republican Infectious Diseases Hospital was among those listed on the Honor Roll. In April, a medical facility redesigned into a covid center took the brunt of the fight against coronavirus.
The team of the Ambulance Station is located nearby. Also on the Honor Board were the head of the department of anesthesiology and resuscitation of the First Republican Clinical Hospital Pavel Tveritnev, the chief freelance pulmonologist of the Ministry of Health of Udmurtia Oksana Starodubtseva and the deputy chief physician of the Republican Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital Marina Petrenko.

Q: Насколько корректно удаление элеметнов из std::map прямо во время её обхода в range-based цикле Есть std::map которую необходимо обойти и удалить некоторые элементы если их значение удовлетворяет определённому условию. Обычный обход в tange-based цикле и удаление элементов прямо в цикле работает (что для меня полная неожиданность). Но насколько такие действия вообще корректны? Насколько я знаю такие циклы это просто обёртка обхода по итератору. Почему итератор после удаления значения не сдыхает?
int main() {
    std::map<int, string> some_map;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) some_map.emplace(i, std::to_string(i));
    for (auto& [first, second] : some_map) if (!second.compare("6")) some_map.erase(first);
    for (auto [first, second] : some_map) std::cout << first<< " " << second << std::flush << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

A: Эти действия некорректны. Итератор сдыхает. А сама программа погружается в пучину неопределенного поведения.

A: Как написано в документации, "References and iterators to the erased elements are invalidated. Other references and iterators are not affected."
Это означает, что ваш цикл некорректен, поскольку он удаляет тот самый элемент, на который указывает скрытый итератор. То, что он у вас работает как задумывалось - не более чем случайность.
Однако, если заранее передвинуть итератор на следующий элемент, он останется валидным, и цикл будет корректным:
for (auto it = some_map.begin(); it != some_map.end(); ) {
    auto & [first, second] = *it++;
    if (!second.compare("6"))
        some_map.erase(first);
}

Также можно воспользоваться примером из документации:
for (auto it = some_map.begin(); it != some_map.end(); ) {
    auto & [first, second] = *it;
    if (!second.compare("6"))
        it = some_map.erase(it);
    else
        ++it;
}

Model checking of real-time systems has evolved throughout the years. Recently, the model checker Ecdar, using timed I/O automata, was used to perform compositional verification. However, in order to fully integrate model checking of real-time systems into industrial development, we need a productive and reliable way to test if such a system conforms to its corresponding model. Hence, we present an extension of Ecdar that integrates conformance testing into a new IDE that now features modelling, verification, and testing. The new tool uses model-based mutation testing, requiring only the model and the system under test, to locate faults and to prove the absence of certain types of faults. It supports testing using either real-time or simulated time. It parallelises test-case generation and test execution to provide a significant speed-up. We also introduce new mutation operators that improve the ability to detect and locate faults. Finally, we conduct a case study with 140 faulty systems, where Ecdar detects all faults.
