Re: Bandwidth usage: share your experience under new rules.
Looks like your getting away with a lot and I would bet it's because it's a business account.
If you think you've gone over by 600% or more then that's 720Mb's worth of data and if they cut off the other gentleman at only 270Gb's then something is very wrong with this setup. |

Accuracy of meter: It said I had 0 GB for 5 days followed by 350+ GB on one day. I wonder if it was "compensating".
Meter's definitely broken in some way. |

And I see a new section that I didn't notice before on the page:
Usage notifications sent for the current month: 2
Here are the e-mail notifications that were sent to your account:
Validation Usage Notification
Date Description
04-14-2009 12:48:58 85% - Standard
04-14-2009 06:57:05 100% - Standard
These times match up with my received emails, and the meter is accurate when comparing to PRTG, for me anyways... of course I'm not going to hit a TB this month like someone else  |

said by Shamans :Accuracy of meter: Meter's definitely broken in some way but still accurate within +/- 10% overall. The meter appears far more accurate than it has been in the past. I know that I used to be able to do overnight downloads and it definitely didn't pick everything up. Of course, I haven't done much downloading recently so it could be that I'm doing it mainly during earlier hours. If I remember, I'll queue up some information overnight and see how it goes. |

said by katmeef :said by Shamans :Date: April 2009 Package: Business Starter Percent: > 670%. thats 804 Gig right? Looks like it. I'm just too busy to download lately. I'm not sure if I'll do the same thing again next month unless I want a 2nd verification that I can push such limits. It takes way too much time + effort and I don't have a backup ISP like most people do.
I've actually downloaded more than a TB even when caps were enforced on a non-enterprise plan. People don't believe me when I tell them that every Cogeco meter has had/have bugs, albeit rare.
I actually miss pro/soho speeds for heavy downloading but those plans are just way too expensive.
I'm at > 690%, I would've been at 800% if I kept it up. |

Most of the testing has been burned on discs that I'm quite sure will never again see the light of day  |

Most of the testing has been burned on discs that I'm quite sure will never again see the light of day I got about 10 TB of storage total heh. HDDs are the way to go. I most likely have about 3 TB possible but I won't download just anything and filtering out the crap takes time and I actually use 95% of anything I download. Go high def exclusively, it makes everything much larger |

| Hmm lets see Business Starter 100% = 120Gb so if my math is right 835% = 1002Gb's or just over a Terabytes worth of data.
It's hard to believe that you haven't made someones list with an amount that is that high, so I would guess you are right and the "Business Counter" if there is one must be broken.
Any Comment here Cogeco???????????? |

Oh boy this again! It would be nice to see where I am ok Cogeco? Would getthis when trying to check monthly usage, since it emailed me yesterday saying I'm at 85%.

Yeah the web guys were doing their big website update last night and I guess somethings went awry (as they always seem to!) so people have been working to get everything back up since early AM. I don't have a concrete ETA but I can say it's a high priority so should be resolved shortly.
