jnimmo: Games would usually come down through Akamai or similar CDN anyway wouldn't they, thus usually be zero-rated? I haven't been over 85GB in the last year and we are always streaming Netflix etc. Not on the torrents though :)


don't think Snap zero-rates akamai.


Perhaps not by policy or guaranteed, but I certainly download lots from Microsoft VLSC (DVD ISOs etc) which comes through Akamai and don't get charged for it


its a bit give a take.


snap seem to not charge if its inside of their network. no telling if your pulling from a akamai server outside of their network though.


i personally dont manage my downloads to be in offpeak very often, i pay for enough data regardless of the situation (and actually my usage has gone down ALOT over the last few months..)

Some have reported Snap -> Snap customers is unmetered, But im sure ive used some when someone pulled data from my web server.

I stopped monitoring internal web usage on the network/per PC since we never approached our 200gb+ limit.

maybe its only within the same BRAS?

would be interesting to know none the less.



i have had some data unmetered to a few ftp servers in china that i was dumping, no way was it cached or anything, certainly found it a nice surprise...


long as you only expect nighttimes to be unmetered, since thats clearly stated, anything else is a bonus!

I don't netflix, and very little streaming of Sky - traffic is split probably 50/50 with a total of 5TB being backed up to Oz in process. I'll fill a couple 64Gb CF cards full of photos and video easily in a day which I then backup off shore, so unlimited is a perfect fit for me.

Size of my server - not quite a server but my desktop tops out at 12Tb currently.

Wow crazy stuff, guessing you're something along the lines of a photographer?
