Higher usage allowance over the vacation period
Badock and Chantry Court Outage (previous) :: Newsletter 6 - Christmas vacation (next)
From Monday December 18th to Sunday January 7th we are increasing the fair usage allowance from 10GB a week to 40GB a week. This means you can use up to 40GB offsite bandwidth per week. From Monday January 8th the usual 10GB a week limit will return.
We are able to do this as most people are not in residence over the vacation so demand on ResNet is much lower than normal.
If you track your usage with Manage My ResNet it will show your correct usage in GB, but may have the wrong figures for your usage as a percentage of your allocation.
As we said before, due to the recent problems we've had with our script we won't be enforcing the penalties for excessive usage for the next three weeks - so if you exceed the 40GB allocation in this period you won't be placed in the special network segment for heavy users *in this period*. However if your usage is higher than 40GB in this period you might be placed in the heavy users network from Monday 8th January onwards.
In short please use less than 40GB a week between Monday December 18th to Sunday January 7th. Very very few people use this much bandwidth in any case.
