This chapter describes how you can use PortaBilling® to provision and
define rates for broadband Internet access services (such as DSL,
ADSL, cable, etc.)
The most typical broadband package types you can offer your clients
include:
Fixed bandwidth (download and/or upload) and unlimited
data transfer, for a fixed monthly fee.
Fixed bandwidth (download and/or upload) and a limited
total data transfer amount, for a fixed monthly fee.
A pay-as-you-go plan, where the customer is charged based
on the amount of data transferred (per kilobyte, megabyte or
gigabyte).
In this chapter we will show you how to:
charge data transfers using tariffs;
implement packages with a fixed monthly fee using
subscriptions assigned to products;
limit bandwidth for a product and/or an account;
limit data transfers using discount plans.
You will also learn how to assign a static IP to an account and restrict
the number of simultaneous Internet sessions with the same Account
ID.
