How long does the punishment last? Does it reset or simple fall below the threshold? You will be FAPed until both your upload and download usage drop below 70% of your usage thresholds. The FAP meter keeps a rolling day of month record of your usage. For example, data that you downloaded on April 15, 2009, will be subtracted from your FAP meter today. Since new customers do not have any usage before they obtained service, no usage is subtracted from their FAP meters during the first month. The punishment will not be removed until at least one month after you obtained service.
Rather than waiting, you can immediately restore your speed by upgrading to a service package with higher usage thresholds.

Most important of all, is there a software that can be installed to measure and keep track of my daily usage based on a rolling monthly limit? There is a program named Fapzilla that reads the FAP meter and saves the numerical results in a text file on your computer. You can program Task Scheduler to automatically execute Fapzilla and save the results in the text file. However, Wildblue appears to be in the process of breaking the links that this software uses to read the FAP meter. You can read about the problems in Usage and Using Wildblue.vps FAP Script -- What happened?. A VBS (Visual Basic Script) file has also been written and posted that essentially does the same thing as Fapzilla. I have been using a custom version of the VBS file for the last several months. The output looks like:
