  • You can choose to be billed by peak bandwidth.

Billing Details

Billing Rule

Billing Period

Description

Billing item: peak bandwidth

Payment: post payment

Billing method: You are billed in peak bandwidth tiers.

Conversion rule: 1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s

You are billed on a daily basis. The usage for each day (00:00:00 to 23:59:59) will be billed on the following day.

The system measures and records a peak bandwidth every 5 minutes, so 288 records are collected per day. The highest peak bandwidth per day is used as the billable bandwidth.
  • Bandwidth usage = Traffic used per day (GB)/(Peak bandwidth (Mbit/s) x 10.54). The number 10.54 indicates that a bandwidth of 1 Mbit/s at 100% usage generates a daily traffic of approximately 10.54 GB, that is, 1 Mbit/s x 100% ÷ 8 bits per byte x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours ÷ 1,024 MB per GB = 10.54 GB

Example

Peak bandwidth–based billing has five tiers: 0 Mbit/s to 100 Mbit/s (included), 100 Mbit/s to 500 Mbit/s (included), 500 Mbit/s to 5 Gbit/s (included), 5 Gbit/s to 20 Gbit/s (included), and over 20 Gbit/s.

Example 1: Company B's peak bandwidth on a day is 2,000 Mbit/s, falling in the 500 Mbit/s to 5 Gbit/s tier. The unit price for this tier is M3/Mbit/s. Therefore, the bill amount of the company on that day is 2,000 Mbit/s x M3/Mbit/s.

Example 2: Company B's peak bandwidth on a day is 300 Mbit/s, falling in the 100 Mbit/s to 500 Mbit/s tier. The unit price for this tier is M2/Mbit/s. Therefore, the bill amount of the company on that day is 300 Mbit/s x M2/Mbit/s.

Bill Run Time

The system generates a bill at about 20:00:00 (GMT+08:00) on the next day for fee deduction. A monthly bill will be generated on the third day of the next month. The actual bill generation time may vary slightly from month to month.
