Off Peak Usage Limits
Electrical testing at Manor House (previous) :: Internet Disruption to Middle East (next)
If you've looked at MyResNet recently you'll have noticed that the off-peak weekly allowance cell in the Network Usage table has changed from 'unlimited' to 35GB. Currently we are not automatically restricting users based on their off-peak usage but we are working towards this goal.
Looking at this table you should be able to work out that if either the off-peak allowance OR the on-peak allowance exceed 100% AUP then your connection will be moved into the restricted network. Clever usage will allow up to 40GB weekly traffic (35 off + 5 on).
As I said before, the off-peak allowance is not active yet, but will be in the near future. The on-peak allowance is still in operation as it has been all year.
From current usage statistics, we anticipate that less than 1% of our users will be affected by this change. For example, last week 0.56% of users transferred data in excess of 35GB off peak and the week before it was just 0.33% (although term only started on Wednesday of that week).
Currently off-peak is midnight to 6pm (18 hours) and on-peak is 6pm to midnight (6 hours).
As always, we welcome constructive feedback.
