Today another complaint and I guess a short post and I have no clue how to make this inspiring or use any of the Principles of Success of what I’m experiencing.
We have two internet connections, the second mainly because I want to have a back up connection in case something goes wrong with the other connection. And yes, the reason is to serve my customers, to make sure I’m online and can fix problems in case of urgent problems with websites of customers.
Now it happens to be that it seems that both connections are being ‘throttled’ due to our heavy use of these connections. And I don’t mind if our bandwidth is lowered down or something as we don’t really need a fast internet connection, but as of the moment it is virtually impossible to use any of the two connections due to this ‘throttling’, meaning something like switching the connections on or off or cutting off tcp/ip connectsions.
And behind all this may be a Philippine law that states that wireless connections can only download sow much per calender month to save the environment or something. Or just ‘fair use policy’ by the Internet Service Providers’.
But I just don’t get how they do it, as to me the limitation in internet use is bandwidth, the amount of data that you download or download per second or even millisecond and that has nothing to do with the total amount of data downloaded or uploaded in a month.
So as I understand it now if I continue downloading a lot of stuff like I do also for my business, for customers, somewhere halfway every month my Internet Service Providers will start ‘throttling’ my internet connection, meaning making it practically useless.
Meaning that the first half of the month I’ll have to work for the whole month and the second half of the month I can go on holiday and won’t be able to serve my customers.
Looking forward to your comments, as I don’t understand it. We have had our Smart connection for seven years or so and it has been working fine for about 99% of the time. And suddenly some rule changes and we can’t use the internet in a normal way for every second half of the month.
I’m lost.
Looking forward to your comments.
