This is my dummy guide version...
The nasty part of this deal is as follows: When a user downloads a file, the data gets from the internet to TSI who pays for the full use of their link to the user on a leasted part of Bell Annex's network.
The bandwidth is limited by how much capacities that TSI already paid for. There is no way the user can overflow the traffic at Bell Annex at all!! Not unless Bell Annex does not live up to their part of the bargain and not have enough capacity, but oversell their network.
The user at TSI downloading is no way affecting anyone other than fellow users at TSI. TSI actually doubled their capacities for the last few days... |
