So doing the math what do you think the max possible is on a six meg line? figure 620 down and 80 up. You think I could pull off a terabyte? :huh: My math comes close....

1Mbps is enough to do ~250GB/month so 6Mbps should be enough to reach 1.5TB/month assuming you can find that much stuff to download and keep going at max speed 24/7. So 1TB is certainly feasible at 6Mbps but how many people actually find time to watch/use all that stuff month after month?
I work in IT.... Bandwidth to me is like ductape to a handy man...There's 10000000 and 1 uses for it.......You would be amazed what you can do with..... ;)

Are you sure? I just checked the 'Price increase - notifications' thread discussing new bandwidths and it starts out with Rocky saying

Premium is now allowed 200g/mth
EDIT: Capped Amount: 200GB (formerly 100GB)... further into these discussions to bridge gaps... see within for discussions.

but just about everything that follows in the discussion implies or says 100g/mth:

We've considered all the options and are giving a solutions that does scale very well.

Premium - 100GB cap
Premium + usage - @ $0.25/GB

We adjusted to rates in such a way that will make it great for the heavy users going forward (keeping it alive) and at the same time allow anyone wanting to keep the $29.95 that are using 100GB (or less), which is a little over 70% of the unlimited user base.

The pre-payment statement is to buy your blocks ahead of time, so if you expect to use 200GB then buy an extra block of 100GB at $10.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bandwidth-Charge-Update-19474324 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 18:03:56 EDT Re: Bandwidth Charge Update... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bandwidth-Charge-Update-19474138 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bandwidth-Charge-Update-19474138 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 17:26:02 EDT Re: Bandwidth Charge Update... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bandwidth-Charge-Update-19473797

There's an ability to do that at the Teksavvy website under "Tools" to check each months usage :)One request though if you're going to charge for overage: make the usage tool more accurate/informative! When I check mine at »www.pppoe.ca/gig_check.asp it shows nothing at all for several of the past months, and for October it's showing almost 834 hours! 31 days * 24 hours is 744 hours, so presumably the rest is due to carry-over from a session that began September.

This would have to be a function of your router who may or may not have counters on how much data was sent/received on its WAN interface. Many routers do have this.

Please note, in legal terms unlimited means unlimited unless you like to be sued.
Most TSI customers pay their service on a monthly no-contract basis so, even if unlimited means unlimited, nothing prevents TSI from discontinuing Unlimited or changing their fees at a moment's notice should they decide to do so. The new terms would apply starting with the next billing cycle.

When most of your business operates on month-by-month terms, changing the terms of service is swift and easy: each payment is its own contract and ends with the billing period.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bandwidth-Charge-Update-19371316 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 15:00:54 EDT Re: Bandwidth Charge Update... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bandwidth-Charge-Update-19371179 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bandwidth-Charge-Update-19371179 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 14:40:33 EDT Re: Bandwidth Charge Update... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Bandwidth-Charge-Update-19370931

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!!!

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...
