Re: Bandwidth Charge Update...
said by Moonlight_x :said by joshb  :So doing the math what do you think the max possible is on a six meg line? figure 620 down and 80 up. You think I could pull off a terabyte?  My math comes close.... 1Mbps is enough to do ~250GB/month so 6Mbps should be enough to reach 1.5TB/month assuming you can find that much stuff to download and keep going at max speed 24/7. So 1TB is certainly feasible at 6Mbps but how many people actually find time to watch/use all that stuff month after month? I work in IT.... Bandwidth to me is like ductape to a handy man...There's 10000000 and 1 uses for it.......You would be amazed what you can do with.....

"Premium is now allowed 200g/mth"
Are you sure? I just checked the 'Price increase - notifications' thread discussing new bandwidths and it starts out with Rocky saying
Premium is now allowed 200g/mth
EDIT: Capped Amount: 200GB (formerly 100GB)... further into these discussions to bridge gaps... see within for discussions.
but just about everything that follows in the discussion implies or says 100g/mth:
We've considered all the options and are giving a solutions that does scale very well.
Premium - 100GB cap
Premium + usage - @ $0.25/GB
We adjusted to rates in such a way that will make it great for the heavy users going forward (keeping it alive) and at the same time allow anyone wanting to keep the $29.95 that are using 100GB (or less), which is a little over 70% of the unlimited user base.
The pre-payment statement is to buy your blocks ahead of time, so if you expect to use 200GB then buy an extra block of 100GB at $10. |

I'm on premium so I have a 100gb limit. If I want to use 200gb for December, do I call in and say 'please charge my credit card an extra $10 for December so I can have an extra 100gb of bandwidth, but don't charge it the extra any other time unless I tell you to'? Am I then all set to use up to 200gb in December without my card being charged extra for January, February....?
And by when do I have to call in? Is it ok to do it on November 30, or is that too late? |

said by R0CKY :said by Angelo_ :rocky how much extra can you purchase (the max) On the premium side, go nuts... you can buys as many blocks as your line can handle if you want! At $10/100GB block on the premium service... it's profitable. Rocky So doing the math what do you think the max possible is on a six meg line? figure 620 down and 80 up.

Hi DrZues,
We're unable to go that far back at this point, however we do have the last couple months.

I keep getting "No information exists" for every month in the drop down list back to June 2007. Just to be sure, is my username same as my username for email/account login? |

said by TSI Jason :There's an ability to do that at the Teksavvy website under "Tools" to check each months usage  One request though if you're going to charge for overage: make the usage tool more accurate/informative! When I check mine at »www.pppoe.ca/gig_check.asp it shows nothing at all for several of the past months, and for October it's showing almost 834 hours! 31 days * 24 hours is 744 hours, so presumably the rest is due to carry-over from a session that began September. It's going to need to be a little more sophisticated to show the two-month averages if that's what the billing is going to be based on. |

Since you can have multiple PPPoE sessions on a single modem, you can technically use both accounts at the same time. To be simple, you can have a computer for downloading that is connected through unlimited. To get fancier, you can have the router automatically detect P2P traffic and route it over the unlimited link.
Of course, it's still one DSL line, so this doesn't solve any performance issues. |

said by jfmezei :>Also, is there a way to monitor my INTERNET only bandwidth >locally? without any LAN bandwidth? This would have to be a function of your router who may or may not have counters on how much data was sent/received on its WAN interface. Many routers do have this. Indeed. For example, SNMP + RRDTool + drraw + web server, works quite nicely. |

Perhaps TSI & Rocky might be amenable to an existing TSI Premium customer buying an Unlimited login for $10. For $40/mth, you'd get performance when you need to AND drink deeply when you want to - just by switching logins. |

This would have to be a function of your router who may or may not have counters on how much data was sent/received on its WAN interface. Many routers do have this. But then you need to also zap it back to 0 on the same day Teksavvy xaps its counters to 0. |
