Re: BS

DSL and Cable connections are be definition a circuit. What you may have meant, but failed to mention, is a dedicated service, or private line service. A tremendous waste of his money. And BTW, some T1 services are merely throttled DSL connections because they are cheaper for the carrier to provide.

Because he does not need dedicated bandwidth. That is the advantage of dedicated service over a shared service like DSL or Cable.

Since I like the metric system, yes they are. So if envoid See Profile transfers 500 Megagobs per month, does s/he require a dedicated connection?

1 megagibbles per second = 321.013651 gigagobs per month (assuming that we are talking in a single direction)

Sound like too much to expect from your 20/2 connection, which is capable of transferring up to 6.5 teragobs in a month?

So what you are saying is that ~6% of the capacity that you are purchasing is too much usage??

REALLY?!

What percentage of the bandwidth that we purchase would you LIKE for us to be able to get?
