STM Incorrect

[ruddock08]

Surely if Package L has double the download (1GB) over Size M (500 mb), Then the New L (10 MBps) shoudl be 1.5 GB not 1.2 GB because its half the speed of 20 mbps (which has cap of 3 GB?

Sorry if thats confusing. :P

What I mean to say is, all the traffic managments shoudl be correct according to their speed?

They arw what they are not a lot can be done about it

The volume thresholds are based around the percentile capture rate.. So in order to maintain the 3% downstream capture rate for the 10Mb/s tier the volume threshold is 1.2GB.. If they are capturing more than 3% then it will increase.

If you look at it like this.. You have x,000 4Mb/s customers that you upgrade to 10Mb/s. Not all of them will do anything differently than they did on 4Mb/s.. So if the average 4Mb/s user does 800MB during the peak, then when they are all uplifted to 10Mb/s the average may not change much.. Maybe to 1GB.. So they set it a couple of hundred MB above that average in order to capture that top 3%. If the average increases then the volume threshold will increase in line:)
