more network knowledge u need.. capping is based on amount of bandwidth you use..as long as you reach the capping limit e.g 60GB..ur speed will be capped or throttled..
also, line speed is determined at hardware level i.e at the exchange level..not username..
wow.. I think my knowledge is enough to ask the question I asked. Don't wanna to show off.. Maybe my english is not so good. But my network knowledge far from home user.
I talking about speed capping. As for streamyx, there are 2 capping. 1 at DSLAM level which you can see in modem status, another 1 is at username level. My hometown use 384kbps package, but the DSLAM capping is 2Mbps. Whenever I go back to hometown, I use my username which is 1Mbps so I can get 1Mbps speed even though registered package there is 384.
I wanna know about FTTH or VDSL in unifi. What kind of speed capping they use. Maybe you are correct the cap at hardware level, that's why I want to knowt. If you got 2 account which is different speed. I love to know what happen if you switch the username.
House A - 5Mbps
House B - 10Mbps
Exchange username, what speed you get for both house? if they capping at hardware level speed will be the same. If the cap both username and hardware then both will be 5mps (whichever lower).
In conclusion this question have nothing to do with 60 GB quota. BTW, thinking back again, there should have ability to cap based on username so the can enforce quota whenever they decide to.
