Dear User
Please note as a preparatory step towards doing away with the periodic 24 hour DSL disconnects, we will be implementing some changes to our DSL statistics system. ADSL usage will no longer be measured on a session basis, which is currently 24 hours. We are moving to a model based on split sessions. Instead of seeing one entry for each session, users will see one entry per interim update. Currently there will be approximately one update per hour. Each split session will indicate the Start and End time, as well as the period of time that is covers. This has the following advantages for users:
1) Users will not only be able to see how much bandwidth they have used, but also approximately when the bandwidth was used;
2) We will be in a position to extend user sessions beyond 24 hours, as soon as this option is available;
3) Bandwidth usage will be allocated more accurately to the day and month in which it was used.
The presentation of the statistics will remain largely the same. The month and day views will look identical. The detailed day view will, however, contain far more details.
You should see the statistics changes coming into effect from the 1st of November 2007.
Please do not hesitate to contact the IS Broadband Team should you require further information.
Regards
The IS Broadband Team
