[Yr7-10it] RE: Open slather internet

[Hutchison, Geoffrey G]

We give junior students (yr 7-10) a monthly quota of 35mB, yr 11 & 12 get 45=
mB - these downloads simply reflect a slighter different fee paid for printi=
ng & "IT" for the different years. If they run out, they have to pay for ext=
ra downloads. We find that these quotas work quite well. We use GetBusi mana=
gement software, which also enables us to show students where they are using=
 their downloads.

Hi all,
 
sorry if you get this a couple of times.
 
At the moment we have an open slather internet policy and some kids are down=
loading excessive amounts. We are currently considering limiting monthly dow=
nloads to 40 MB. Is this too much? What are the limits at your school? Do yo=
u charge students who exceed their limits?
 
Thanks again for help
 
Regards
 
Jim
