| Heavy bandwidth applications like, music and video downloads and peer-to-peer file sharing, raise the need for bandwidth control, particularly in broadband services. With these applications, subscribers tie up more than their share of bandwidth, bringing down the Quality of Service (QoS) for all subscribers in the network. |
| |
| Hence bandwidth control take on great significance for service providers of all sizes. 24online places control over expensive bandwidth in the service provider's hands through its bandwidth management module. |
| Wifi services being at a nascent stage, ensuring reliability and high-speed transfers are problems faced by wifi service providers. This becomes a critical issue especially to hotels and hotspots whose customers are used to a high-quality of service. 24online's bandwidth management module is particularly important for wifi services in ensuring a reliable, high-speed connectivity. |

Knowing what to expect goes a long way in creating a satisfactory Internet experience for subscribers, especially high-value enterprise subscribers, and better planning for service providers. 24online allocates bandwidth quotas on an individual and shared basis, which makes it possible for service providers to estimate and plan for bandwidth needs. Subscribers too, choose the speed that suits their requirements and are aware of the bandwidth available to them |

24online prevents excessive bandwidth consumption by applying bandwidth control to subscribers to the allocated level. To service providers, the benefit is of control over bandwidth purchase costs since there are no unplanned peaks in usage. Also, they have greater control over speed in connectivity, especially to high-usage, high-value subscribers. To subscribers, it results in QoS, leading to a satisfactory surfing experience. |

By allocating the committed bandwidth to subscribers, 24online helps service providers deliver the promised service, which holds the key to ensuring customer satisfaction. Subscribers in turn, get what they pay for, leading to greater customer loyalty. |

24online brings a high degree of flexibility to service providers' operations by providing excess bandwidth to subscribers when overall usage is low at any point of time. |
| |
|
|
| |
24online also gives service providers the flexibility to implement variable bandwidth policies based on the time at which the subscriber requires the service. For example, a 256 kbps connection can be given during business hours that is 10 am - 6 am and a reduced 128 kbps connection after office hours. This can reduce heavy downloads after office hours, providing corporate subscribers with an inbuilt control over excessive bandwidth use. |

|
|
| |
Restricting heavy bandwidth applications by high usage subscribers to the allocated quota frees bandwidth and gives high QoS, leading to higher customer satisfaction. |

By ensuring high-speed connectivity to high-value critical subscribers, loyalty of customers who account for a major part of the revenue is gained. |
