International and local bandwidth being charged...

[DarkWhisperer]

Hi,

I was away from here for some time, and need to get a quick update. The last time I checked, any bandwidth you used on your ADSL, local or international, all counted towards your international limit. Once that was reached, you were hard-capped, and given local-only access. Does it still work like that, or is local and international now calculated correctly & fairly? Perhaps there are some ISP's that do it correctly, and others that dont?

Thanks...

It still works like that.

I dont think that splitting local and international will ever become a reallity due to much coding will be required and if they make 1 mistake like charging your local to your international most likely problem every 1 will be complaining like crazy!

Dont really agree...

Hi,

I don't really think it'll be too much of a problem. Thats what you have testing and QA for, to make sure there aren't errors when u go LIVE. Also, if theres an error in LIVE, you fix it, and move on.

The main reason imo that it's not done, is because ADSL will become a larger threat to their Legacy lines, which a lot of businesses have to use. A lot of them would move away from those to multiple-ADSL setups, for a much lower cost.

That's not my problem, it's the ISP's. ISP's need to deal with it.

One simple way would to provide users with 2 accounts, one local only and one international.
