Hi, Does anyone know how we can control bandwidth via a BRAS using Radius? Do you know of any free radius servers which can support CoA or "Radius Push"? or is there any other way. The scenario will be where a broadband user has exceed their data quota of x gb and then we rate them to 64k.

RE: [pacnog] Broadband in Fiji

by Robert McFadzien

Hi All Yes, here in the Cook Islands we have recently started our WiFi hotspot service in the capital (rarotonga), to simplify the administration we only offer prepaid access where a user will purchase prepaid cards which have the access code printed on it. At the moment we have 4 hotspots (2 in town area + 2 resorts) and are soon to deploy additional sites including the airport. Pricing is based only on volume of data transferred, but accounts expire 30 days after activation. Pricing as follows (NZ dollars): 100MB $15.00 300MB $36.00 500MB $50.00 800MB $64.00 Cheers Rob. > -----Original Message----- > From: pacnog-bounces(a)pacnog.org > [mailto:pacnog-bounces@pacnog.org] On Behalf Of Save Vocea > Sent: Thursday, 13 October 2005 5:05 p.m. > To: PacNOG > Subject: Re: [pacnog] Broadband in Fiji > > Thanks for the update Alfred.
