kudos:1 | TekSavvy, I fixed your website for you.
There's our monthly bandwidth. |
So there's two options here. Replace the use of bandwidth with a more appropriate term, like "Data Usage", or to fill in the bandwidth column with the monthly bandwidth values. I have chosen the latter. I also fixed a stupidly chosen price point.
By the way, I used the Phoenix add-on for Firefox to edit the HTML on the page. |

Toronto, ON | Your numbers are not correct. You didn't factor in the unlimited 6 hour period every day, which means that for the 300 GB tiers, the bandwidth would be highest for the 25/7 users.

The bandwidth month is the most confusing thing. As if I download 24/7... |

Oh.
I thought that you were going to say something devious like "I snuck into their NOC and pulled out the ethernet plug from their web host server." 
Hey, that WOULD fix it.  |

For the 25 Mbps 300 GB tier, it's:
25 Mbps x 3600 s/hr x 6 hours x 30 days = 16200000 Mb = 2025 GB
7 Mbps x 3600 s/hr x 6 hours x 30 days = 4536000 MB = 567 GB
2025 + 567 + 300 GB (in the other 18 hours per day) = 2892 GB / month = 8.9 Mb/s

No matter WHAT numbers we put in there, it would still be as confusing as this 'rolling average' thing which they now have announced, regarding overage charges.
Hey, if the GEEKs of this forum are confused by their explanation of it in the FAQ, then THAT's when we know that we're all doomed fer SURE ! |

kudos:1 | I wouldn't care if they renamed Bandwidth to Kwyjibo or Woozle Wozzle. Nobody would know what it means (aside from fans of a certain TV series), but at least it won't have us geeks complaining, or have less knowledgeable people confused by the terminology.
Actually, this was discussed in the old thread. |

As an example, this is my usage over 5 days:
That's 95.24 GB. If extrapolated over 30 days, that would be 571.44 GB.
Note that of those 95.24 GB, I've only used 33.64 GB of my allowed 300 GB. The counted usage, extrapolated over 30 days, is 201.84 GB.

"Bandwidth" in kbps/month? A quantity per time unit squared (month*second) would be an acceleration.
Representing caps as an averaged speed is pretty useless though since nearly nobody uses the internet that way. |

Why did they ever coin it "bandwidth" anyways? Before that we called it a baud rate or bits per second (bps) of a data signal.
The proper meaning always referred to the actual width in hertz/megahertz of a typical signal (audio, RF, whatever).
(Typical OTA television transmission is using 6MHZ of bandwidth, WiFi channel 20MHZ, etc) |

You forgot to add the word "Perpetual" in front of "Activation Charge for DSL 2 and DSL 6". |

Looking at the web site Bell charges twice what Teksavvy charges to ship a modem. I wonder how that could be with the same shipping service? |

What I *really* love is that you have lowered the price of the 10 mbit DSL by $3 as it should be! +1 |
