ffs, i down a lot of 1080p movies...so a 150 gb limit would be crap for me. And after all i wanted to know what would happen if i exceed the imaginary limit. ?
I think you still fail to understand. There is no set limit. You might have your speed throttled if you're in the top 1% or so of users of International traffic, but otherwise it all depends on whether it's required to maintain a healthy network or what.
Other than throttling, we might call you and ask you to curb usage (a reasonable request), or upgrade your plan so that your connection is not constantly saturated (sustained transfers are bad for the network) or in particularly extreme cases, we may suspend the connection.
As also mentioned in the previous post, if you were to share/download most of those 1080p format movies via DC++ on the local network, 1TB is no problem: it's just the "valuable" and more expensive bandwidth that we are calculating against.
Per the previous example, if you use 1.2TB in a month, but 1TB of that is between Hayai users or whatever, then no big deal. If however, 1TB is from outside the network, we may have to take issue with it.
That said, as a consumer, we are under no obligation to guarantee that you can transfer that much (international traffic) on an unlimited plan. Rule of thumb in India is that you should buy a
business line if you want guarantees on transfers, speeds and up-times...
I'm not taking this to heart, I expect to be delivering top-notch service, but basically if we are to place limitations on your account at any time due to reasons such as "network abuse", we - and any other ISP - are well within our rights to do that.
But like I said, 1TB is fairly excessive even by European standards, so I would hazard to guess that you would be throttled slightly before you hit 1TB so that we can maintain a high quality of service to all of our customers.
Either that or we could let the customers you affect loose so that they can figure out their own vigilante punishments for the user who is making their net slow
