NBN Co strangles bird: satellite users limited to 20 GB / month
Found on The Register on Sunday, 08 February 2015
According to documents seen by The Register, the network-builder is once again finding its Interim Satellite Service effectively DDoSed by its popularity.
The Register notes that while media are told the limit is 50 GB per month, it's actually calculated on a rolling four-week average. In other words, a user consuming 25 GB in the last week of their billing period, and another 25 GB in the first week of the next, would find themselves in breach of the policy.
If you know your service cannot handle lots of traffic, don't just include lots of free traffic to attract customers. It never makes people happy to get the service limited which they originally bought.
