I bet the beginning of the month sucks for that service, because all the heavy downloaders get their bandwidth back, and start smacking the heck out of the transponder...

Yeah, thats why I said what I said. The beginning of the month must suck because the heavy downloaders must smack the heck out of the transponder when their cap comes off. What was the point of you underlining the quote? Unless you're saying the user is capped for 30 days after the date they got capped (which wouldn't make sense because that would be over a month of service that is capped). Basically, each month users get their bandwidth back, and that day is most likely the beginning of the month. It's like welfare, the 1st and the 15th are payday, if you are waiting on your connection to go back to the advertised speed, then that will all fall on the same day. Please clairify your point... |

What was the point of you underlining the quote? What the previous poster was trying to emphasize is that IT IS A ROLLING 30 DAY LIMIT. The usage NEVER goes to zero. Whatever someone downloaded 30 days ago drops off today. Actually, it's about 30.8 days, so it should really be called a 31 day rolling limit.
The only time someone's usage will go to zero is if they leave their modem powered off for 31 days.
I hope that explains it.
