How is the Internet bandwidth managed?
Internet bandwidth from the BMEX works on a shared basis, with subscribers contracting for a guaranteed minimum, and then being allowed to share other subscribers bandwidth when they are not using it. This contended access works by sharing Internet bandwidth in 512Kbps allocations. However, because this bandwidth is shared, you may find that you get more bandwidth than this if the link is being lightly used. We have the ability to increase or decrease bandwidth on a monthly basis, allowing us extreme flexibility with meeting subscriber needs. Additionally, because of the shared nature of the connection, the more Internet bandwidth we buy, the lower the cost per 512Kbps parcel to all the subscribers.
