Lumen IoD savings calculator
Model a client's locations, schedule, and bandwidth tiers against static 24/7 pricing. Three ways to do it: a fixed business-hours schedule, bandwidth that follows demand hour by hour, or point to point Ethernet on Demand. Use it here, embed it on your website, or request a version carrying your agency's brand.
Option 1
Calculate and share a client scenario
Bandwidth schedule
Lumen Internet on Demand
Model a scheduled bandwidth scenario
Group locations that share the same hours and bandwidth. Add another group when the schedule changes.
Port access and discount
Security add-ons
Optional Lumen protection, priced against the bandwidth schedule rather than as a flat fee, so hours spent at a lower tier cost less to protect.

Auto Flux
Demand-based scaling
Model bandwidth that follows the traffic
Instead of a timetable, every hour holds the smallest tier that covers actual demand. Describe the traffic below, or upload a utilization report and read the real curve.

Lumen Ethernet on Demand
Model a point to point schedule
Group links that share the same hours and bandwidth. Off-peak can disconnect entirely, and port access bills at both ends of each link.

How this works
Network as a Service lets a circuit change bandwidth tier by the hour rather than holding one speed all month. You pay a fixed port access fee plus an hourly rate for whichever tier is active. This models a timetable: the peak tier during the business hours you select, the off-peak tier for every other hour of a 720-hour month.
Rather than following a timetable, each hour holds the smallest tier that covers actual demand. Scaling up happens immediately; scaling down waits for a run of quiet hours so the circuit does not oscillate. The result is compared both with the static circuit being paid for today and with the smallest static circuit that would have coped.
Ethernet on Demand is a point to point link, priced by the hour like Internet on Demand but on its own rate ladder. Because both ends of the link need a NaaS-enabled port, port access is charged twice per link. Outside business hours the link can be disconnected entirely rather than dropped to a lower tier.

Calculation basis
Transparent assumptions, visible inputs
The model uses a 720-hour month. Business-hour costs use the selected peak tier. Every remaining hour uses the selected off-peak tier. Port access is added per circuit after the entered discount, and at both ends of an Ethernet on Demand link. One-time charges are shown separately and never enter a monthly total.
Auto Flux figures are modeled rather than measured: scaling events are what the rules you set would have produced against the demand you describe or upload. An uploaded utilization report is read in your own browser and never sent to Modero.

Group similar locations
One group can represent hundreds of circuits when the schedule and bandwidth tiers match.
Compare an existing quote
Add a current monthly quote to see whether the modeled scheduled total is above or below it.
Share the exact state
The scenario link carries every group and assumption without storing client information.
Keep the estimate honest
The calculator describes modeled savings and keeps provider eligibility outside the estimate.
Calculator questions
What does the Lumen IoD calculator estimate?
It compares a static peak bandwidth tier running all month with a schedule that uses the peak tier during selected business hours and an off-peak tier at other times.
Can I model more than one client location?
Yes. Put locations with the same schedule and bandwidth into one site group, then add groups for locations with different requirements.
Are the results a carrier quote?
No. Results are planning scenarios based on the displayed hourly rates, a normalized 720-hour month, selected port fees, and the values entered. Confirm eligibility and pricing with the applicable provider quote.
Can I send the scenario to a client?
Yes. Copy a shareable scenario link or use the print control to create a PDF from the current calculation.
Can I put the calculator on my website?
Yes. Copy the Modero embed code from this page, or request an approved partner profile with your agency's name, color, disclosure, and destination.
What is the difference between the schedule and Auto Flux modes?
A schedule holds the peak tier during the business hours you choose and an off-peak tier the rest of the time. Auto Flux instead holds the smallest tier that covers demand in each hour, scaling up immediately and scaling down after a run of quiet hours.
Can I upload a utilization report?
Yes. In Auto Flux mode you can drop in a .csv or .xlsx utilization report exported from a carrier portal. The file is read in your own browser and is never uploaded to Modero.
How does the calculator price Ethernet on Demand?
Ethernet on Demand uses its own hourly rate ladder and can be disconnected entirely outside business hours. Because it is a point to point link, port access is charged at both ends of every link.
Does the estimate include one-time charges?
No. Where a security add-on is attached to a service that already exists, the one-time charge is shown as a separate line and is never part of a monthly total.
Can I embed just one mode?
Yes. The embed builder on this page can pin the calculator to the bandwidth schedule, Auto Flux, or Ethernet on Demand, which also keeps the embedded frame shorter.
