People can argue whatever they like about capped and uncapped, but 140Gb is excessive!
I've got no problem with them limiting these users. If those 0.3% really want that level of movie pirating they may as well buy a dedicated line for all the profits they probably make  |
No Kenny, the
lightest user in this group used an average of 140
Bit more, from Plus:
The simple answer to this is that there is not a specific value set. I will say that out of the customers affected the average usage over three months ranged from the 'lightest' user of those affected with ~140GB a month or data used to the 'heaviest' use of those affected with well over 500GB of data transferred every month.
What should not be read into these figures is that they are some sort of limit we are now sticking to - they are not.
We based the customers affected by this exercise purely on the top 10% of bandwidth use. This particular method of dealing with heavy users will either
* Work - and we will be able to move forwards using a purely educational approach to capacity management. If this is the case then the quoted figures are not relevant because this specific action will not be taken again. Or ...
* Not work at all - and we will need to look at other ways to address the problem, and again this will make the figures irrelevant as the same action will not be taken again (as we will already know that it doesn't work).
