I still say we do not need to go into such details. Manage the hoggers and the bandwidth first without having to make any changes to everyone else. If that solves things, then nobody needs to pay more etc. Hoggers won't be happy though, but as I have said in a previous post, they are not going to be happy one way or another whichever method. Except if everything stays absolutely as it is, which I do not think its going to.

So again I think go deal with the highest hoggers first and contain them. Leave the rest of users alone.

Whether it is from you to the switch or not, it is still a a shared broadband resource, not dedicated. That is my point. I didn't go look at the TOS etc again, but just from their FAQ:

See Q37 at:

The CR does not mean you will get 40K. It means that it should be the worst case scenario if so happens all 25 users get online and fully utilize the connection at one time. It often does not happen that way though. That's why when you do a speed test, it is likely you will get the 1Mbps results (locally) most of the time when there is no such max usage going on.

It has been pointed out before but most users don't want to understand it as it would mean that they feel that they are losing a concept which they never really had in their hand anyway.

Added on December 20, 2010, 7:53 pmThat's why I keep saying that we should not be discussing CR or VB etc. Focus and manage the problem at hand. If it is the hoggers, deal with them, leave the rest alone. There may not even be any necessity for any changes. Similarly with the 25GB definition. Everyone knows that is unrealistic to be considered as a heavy user.

biatche, you always seem to have a problem with my posts? Are you not broad minded enough to se that different people can have different opinions? You do not have to be so condacending, just state your own opinions.

Go read my previous posts carefully if you are interested. I am one of those who have already said that TM has probably got a hidden agenda. Its not only you who thinks so. I am only trying for now to show that we are all discussing about CR, VB etc when there is no need to if possible. Thats why I said this survey is wrong in the first place. If TM is supposedly wanting our feedback, then we should just vote Yes or No. Then majority of us would vote No.

It is not me, but others who have been talking about VB and the amount of volume and how much to pay per GB etc. I am merely trying to point out that IMO that is the wrong direction.

They did not define hoggers as 25GB. They said 25GB is heavy users. I think hoggers are extremely heavy users which can go up to 1TB. Read carefully what I have said. I just said start from the highest. I did not say put a mark at a certain level and call them and above as hoggers.

I am sorry if my explanations are not clear enough for you. You are most welcome to ignore my posts.

So MX510, after about 7 months this thread was started, what exactly was the outcome in the end? If they are going ahead implementing some sort of FUP, which one are they doing? How come there is no news or feedback about this to the users?
