When Skyrove started charging for megabytes, instead of for minutes, a lot of people said we were simply overestimating the intellectual capacity of our customers. “No-one understands a megabyte”. Be that as it may, it seems most people have figured out that Skyrove’s prepaid per megabyte billing system is both more convenient and cheaper overall! There are many other reasons for 24/7 access based on per megabyte billing, and I’ll be sure to post about them in another post.
Up till now Skyrove has been charging only for downloaded megabytes. This means that some customers could be running photo servers and the like without Skyrove Providers getting paid for it.
In places where Skyrove Providers pay for bandwidth going up and down, this could lead to significant losses.
By the end of the month Skyrove will be amending the structure so that customers will be paying for both downloads AND uploads.
This will benefit both Providers and Skyrovers. Providers won’t be taking any risk of end users abusing bandwidth, and are therefore expected to drop their prices.
