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.

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.
