At least their business plans are still excluded.

I am over my cap by 40gb this month and was over 100gb last month. They haven't even cut me off for the usage like they threaten to do in the TOS. I am surprised more heavy users haven't switched over. Cogeco's business plans are safe for at least a few more months from overcharges.

Quick question. Have you ever tried to monitor your bandwidth usage using the 95th percentile rule? I am curious to know how much someone who downloads 100G per month uses on a 30 day average.

Thanks.

According to Google, it's under 320 Kbps.

Lets hope it stays that way. I used to get cut off the second I went over my cap on residential standard. Then again I bet they are killing that policy now that they make money by the GB.

95th percentile billing is not the same as average usage. If you use 5mbit more than 5% of the time, you get charged for 5mbit. In a 30 day billing period, that's only 36 hours, which could be as little as 80GB.
