Dynamic Capacity for Internet gives customers the ability to double or triple the bandwidth on demand in real-time, through pre-scheduled planning or automatically without human intervention with Alerts-Driven Dynamic Capacity.  Customers can now establish network thresholds and receive alerts to dynamically manage their Internet traffic.  They can also pre-schedule increased bandwidth for a specific event and they can correlate costs and bandwidth usage with specific activities.  None of these capabilities can be done with traditional burstable Internet.
