Re: [merged] Price increase

Nikko apologies on the misnaming you. I worked it out on the basis of 30 gig traffic a month, as I am used to paying for traffic on various hosting platforms I have got used to how paying for traffic works, when people have traffic allocation its usually measure in mbit of usage, although ntl customers won't be told this way the comparison is still the same, ianathuth does have a point that user's can go over the allocation if they are clever and only go over on certian days but I based it on what ntl stated their guidelines as, which is 1 gig a day. The 1mbit is based on average usage over the month, and since 1mbit is 300gig traffic I simply divided it by 30(30 gig allocation) which = 10 so that makes 10 users to use the 1mbit, so I then multiplied the price that each users pays by 10. Now normally to counteract this isp's that have traffic limits will usually give out a larger allocation to those with higher burst speeds so when working out the cost per 1mbit its usually the same or at least less of a gap but as it stands per the guidelines ntl set the top tier user's are paying over the double amount of what the bottom tier users are paying, I expect this will be hard to grasp for those that are one the bottom package's.
