Constant high usage is one thing. Overall amount of data pulled is another. I hate these concepts of finite data allocation. It's not as though a switch runs out of bits to give. The former gives way to the argument about over-subscription. The latter gives way to...nothing. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing.I mentioned to XGS_Is_On on Discord yesterday that with this kind of speed the terms of service with regards to the fair use policy (FUP) needs to be more concrete than it is usually which is to say, wishy-washy with no numbers and asterisks next to the word "unlimited".
Like even if it had a FUP which says, you can do 100TB a month and after that we reserve the right to throttle you until your next billing date, that is giving consumers something tangible.
For example, just for the sake of the example, 100TB over a month is 300Mbps of 24x7 usage...nothing on an 8Gb line. Shouldn't be anyway. Break that out to short periods of full usage and we're looking at something around 31 hours to do in total. There too, over the course of a month, shouldn't be an issue.
A lot of data to be sure, but is that problematic for the service provided?
