| Two Accounts, one unlimited, one not, how is traffic charged Like the title says.
I have two DSL accounts at different residences. Both are different providers.
HOW is traffic charged? By username or ADSL MAC?
I'm logged in to both accounts using my unlimited account username and I'm hoping all the traffic from both places is charged against my unlimited account.
If you need more info to give an accurate answer then ask.

 | Supposed to be by user name. |
|
 | reply to WallyThacker It's usually calculated by PPPoE username; I'd just make sure your ISP's AUP doesn't prohibit simultaneous connections. |

| reply to WallyThacker Ok, thanks.
I thought (hoped) it was by username.
AFAIK my unlimited ISP doesn't restrict multiple logins. Why would they? My limited ISP is probably happy I'm doing nothing.
I guess I'll know at month end when the bill comes due. I'm torrenting a lot. -- "Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you who do wrong things, and many of them were driven to these crimes by a horrible force, called MUSIC" Frank Zappa, Joe's Garage |

 | said by Anonthbb :Does Bell FTTH work this way too? I'd like to know the answer to this question, too. In case one upgrades from FTTN (VDSL2) to FTTH. |
|
 | reply to Anonthbb Yes, with FTTH you still have a regular modem connected to the ONT and it still connects with a username like normal. Traffic is still counted by that connection.
If I recall correctly I remember seeing somewhere that the usernames are in a different format rather than their standard b1 ones (b2 I think?) that don't work on regular DSL, so using a 3rd party unlimited login probably wouldn't work on your FTTH connection either. |
