Major Japanese ISP Talking About 30Gb Caps

[GhostShip]

This is a strange announcement for a Japanese ISP to make.

NTT Communications has announced that their OCN unit would implement a daily upload limit of 30 GB starting August this year.
The company said that the customers who break this limit would first be warned about it.
If they continue to cross this limit, their access would be suspended.
Downloads however would continue to remain unlimited.

The company said that only a limited number of their users are going to be affected.
They want to limit the damage to their quality of service to other customers with this limit by restricting users who link to p2p networks to share massive amount of data.

Thirty Gigabytes of data per day, I think most of us would be more than happy to obey that sort of limit

30 gb a day.
that's reasonable...
hehe
I guess this is the first thread I've seen where upload limits and not download limits have been imposed.
