Even in Japan, Internet service providers are forced to struggle with those few subscribers who abuse the service. When connecting to a tariff with unlimited traffic, they use the band around the clock without formally violating the terms of the contract. Therefore, providers are forced to establish certain minimum restrictions in order to at least slightly protect themselves from such "malware".
Japanese provider NTT from August 1 set such a restrictionfor its users. What is interesting here is not the fact itself, but the size of the restriction. Since in Japan the bandwidth of Internet channels is one of the highest in the world (most of the subscribers are connected via fiber optic, 100 Mbps anlims are currently popular at $ 46 per month), so the corresponding limit is 30 GB per day. Interestingly, this restriction is only on the download, and downloading is still unlimited. After exceeding the limit, users - potential owners of file servers and torrent hubs - will receive a warning from the provider. In the case of multiple excesses, they can be completely disabled.
Particularly touching on the background of Japanese news are stories about American "broadband bandits"who maliciously pump out from 5 to 40 GB per month and for this they are harassed by their Internet providers.
