This model excludes the top 5% of traffic from billing. By calculating charges based on actual usage, it accommodates unexpected traffic bursts while minimizing standard connection costs.

(2) Monthly Average Billing

This model calculates the monthly average for both inbound and outbound traffic, applying the charge based on whichever value is higher.

Allocates a specific bandwidth to the customer port for a fixed monthly fee. Customers can utilize the network within the predefined capacity and cost parameters.
