Data usage

SkyNet Internet plans provide you with 1.2 TB (1224 GB) of Internet data usage each month as part of your monthly internet service.  If you choose to use more than 1.2 TB in a month, SkyNet will bill for this overage.  Data blocks are billed automatically in increments of 100 GB for an additional fee to be charged to your account. SkyNet Internet plans are based on a principle of fairness. Those who consume more Internet data, pay more, but at a discounted bandwidth rate for volume.

It is important to know that only 2% of our customers use more than 1 terabyte of data and so most (98%) are not impacted by this cost.  To see your actual usage, sign into the SkyNet Customer Portal and click on your service.

For your convenience we will define a TB here. It is a measure of data used every time you connect to the internet. It’s larger than gigabytes (1,000 GB), megabytes (1,000,000 MB) or kilobytes (1,000,000,000 KB).

Here are some average internet examples:
    
Streaming 200 hours of music – 1 GB
Streaming 20 hours of SD video – 40 GB
Streaming 20 hours of HD video – 80 GB
Downloading a full-length SD movie – 4 GB
Downloading a full-length HD movie – 8 GB
Downloading a video game – 40+ GB
