Re: Rolling 30 Day: The Truth
FYI -- What happens after being fapped.
It should be noted that unplugging the modem for several days may be required to get under the 80% threshold, and this will result in zero being added for say four or five days, and whatever you had 30 days ago during that time being subtracted.
Now, the interesting bit comes when you hit those same four or five days again, about 25 days from when you had them before. There, no matter what you do, short of unplugging the thing, will cause your last 30 days usage to continue to go up, since you are using it now, but not 30 days ago. At any rate, I just thought it worth mentioning, in case anyone is pushing the new lower limits now, they might suddenly find themselves over if they have a time around a month ago, where they had their modem unplugged.
Personally, I think the time periods involved are too long if they are going to do a rolling thing. I'd recommend they drop down to a rolling 7 days. If you just divided the numbers by four you would get the following per 7 days.
Value: 1875/575
Select: 3000/750
Pro: 4250/1250
Of course, personally, i still think the fap terms in place when the contract was signed should have been maintained during the term of the contract, but hey, i'm one of those unreasonable people, who despite seeing the fine print that they could change it all, figured it was the best bet at the time.
At any rate, one could argue the numbers, but there is no point since you have no say over them anyway, but dropping down to a 7 day cycle would allow a more realistic balance with being able to use what you want, and keeping the FAP cycles, should they occur, much shorter. |
