Re: Rolling 30 Day: The Truth
quote:
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
That is the single worst suggestion I've heard to date. It offers no benefit at all to the customer (they can't do anything they couldn't do before) and it limits what you can do and means you will have less bandwidth available to use. What has always been awful about direcway is that the short FAP bucket makes it so you simply can't do things like download the new version of linux without taking great pains to self-throttle. What is great about wildblue is that the FAP period is long enough that things even out so you don't have to constantly pay attention to it.
If you want a small fap bucket, get direcway and let the rest of us enjoy the freedom that wildblue offers. |
