Burstable Billing

Burstable Billing is a type of billing agreement which allows subscriber to use more than they agreed bandwidth without the financial penalty of purchasing a higher Committed Information Rate (CIR) from an internet service provider (ISP). Usage charges are generally based upon the 95th percentile which effectively filters the peaks from your usage profile. Under this agreement, you could burst to full capacity continuously for up to 65 min per day with no financial penalty.
