Re: [Lilux-info] Alternet ADSL: Tarification flat rate 256 K à 33 EUR/mois

Other ISPs in Lux (like Cegecom) write blue letters to heavy customers (eDonkey) and recommend them to go to another ISP (I prefer the Coditel way) 3. Somebody *must* pay the excessive traffic some people generate. I am happy to know that it will not be me. Coditel costs 45 Euro a month and you have 10 Gigs traffic a month. If you exceed this, you have to pay 10 Euro for another 10 Gigs. Look at your Alternet price: 97 Euro for a 1024Kbit connection. Coditel offers 1024Kbit for 45 Euro. For 95 Euro, I can download 60 Gigs at Coditel!!!!! 45 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 95 Euro. At Alternet you even have to pay 97 Euro if you are in vacation for a month, with Coditel only 45 Euro. You may say that 60 Gigs / month are still not as good as a flatrate. But let's calculate: I have to generate traffic "day and night" at sustained maximum rate at 1024Kbit for at least 6 full days to generate 60 Gig traffic!!!! Cegecom already writes blue letters to their "flatrate" customers generating over 30 Gigs / month. A Flatrate is not a good price model. Some people just generate traffic because they can. I do not want to help others to finance their excesses. Greetings, Patrick Kaell
