Except it only updates when you disconnect. For example, towards the end of last month, my counter was at 99GB. I then proceeded to use a bunch of additional bandwidth (I'd estimate 15-20GB) over the course of 2 or 3 days. I had some HD stuff I needed to pull down for an upcoming screening.

But when I look at my usage now, I see October, 99GB, November, 0GB.

So even though I used that bandwidth in October, it looks like it'll be rolled over until November, which means that it'll also affect (due to averaging) my December bill...

Unless when I disconnect, both October and November will be updated?

I have to say I love the service so far.

I don't play online games and don't do BT. Just downloading from newsgroup. And I don't download 1TB or something not even close. About 500GB/m. Good to hear the unlimited will be staying that way.

Does the $10/100GB bulk apply in the west as well?

That said, some of us out here are really hoping you guys will be able to bring Unlimited out west some day.

Nope, if you're connected for 12 days from the 25th of october to the 6th of november it'll all roll over counting as november bandwidth. Its a fair system all in all you generally get pretty accurate results when you average it out over a couple months

What happens, then, if I'm connected for 90 days, and use 80GB per month? When I reconnect my session, even though I never went over my cap, I'd be hit with huge overage fees, no?

Disconnect every day or so and this won't be an issue.

Well I can tell you I've never seen anyone connected that long, usually about 10-20 days is the max you'll ever see. I cant really speculate on something that hasn't happened to my knowledge, however we can track your logs so finding out you were connected for 90 days would be cake

Rocky,

I have to say I am very impressed by you. While Cogeco decides to finally enforce their cap by disconnecting people instead of having a plan in place to give people options, you guys come up with a very fair option to allow Premium members to increase their cap without gouging them. Bravo!

After the 10 years we have been with Cogeco, so figure $5000 worth of Internet fees alone, never mind our cable TV, they just cut us off and offer no solutions. Talk about a poorly thought out business model.

You guys need to look at offering TV as well!!!

Cheers!

I held a PPPoE login once for 151 days. It would have been longer but I needed to make a change in the router and it required a reboot.

Before Teksavvy entered puberty and started to grow big time and change routers at regular intervals, I had sessions lasting a couple of months between power outages. Steve might remember. (Of course, he has now been rebranded TSI Steve after Rocky found a branding iron in the barn and decided to use it on all his employees).
