I know that hughes net throttles you to 56k after your monthly cap. I got a kid on my network that's 14 and I'm convinced he is just letting his downloads go 100% day/night round just to consume as much bandwidth as he can for no reason at all.

More and more employees are wasting time on the Internet and filesharing from work computers so at some point I may have to do something. When that time comes, I will definitely implement monthly BW caps. A customer gets x amount of bandwidth to do with as they wish per month. They can use it all in the first 4 days and have no internet for 26 days, change their habits, or buy a bigger package. As it's said, 5% of your users will use 80% of your bandwidth. If those 5% are making the network slow for the other 95% I'll let them go in a heartbeat. Those guys can pay up or as Josh said, go away. __________________________________ Jerry Richardson airCloud Communications -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2008 9:36 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] heavy usage customers The agreement that most ISPs use states something like "we can limit or change bandwidth as is necessary deemed by us, you pay for the package name rather then the value printed upon signing the agreement". Basically you sell small/medium/large packages. If they pay for the small package and at the time they start it is 1MB but you deem 1MB too much, you drop it to 512k. If they complain it is not enough bandwidth they a) go back to dial-up or b) pay for what they want.
