<p class="MsoNormal">The customer is smashing the service, 100% of the time, running it at at the full 19-20Mbps, 24/7, every single day, including weekends. This is resulting in 5-6TB of internet data that they are transferring through us, and our IP transit
upstream, which is obviously costing us a fair chunk in IP transit costs.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We haven't said anything to the customer, but I'm curious to see what other people would consider "fair use" of an business grade, unlimited Internet service.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We already peer with Megaport and IX-Australia so we try to minimise our IP transit costs as much as possible, but this traffic is going directly Telstra, and we are loosing out on this particular customer. Do we just suck it up, or would
you increase the customers monthly fee, throttle them, etc?<o:p></o:p></p>
