We plan to put this into production to our network from Feb 8 2015 and currently we are still in research stage and adjusting parameters to avoid affecting any customer normal internet use such as watching online video/playing gaming etc. This should help us manage our network better without causing any inconvenience to even most of heavy users and all of normal users. If you feel you are affected by this technology, please feel free to contact us any time so that we can investigate if we need to improve the algorithm."

"[...] we strongly recommend all customers to move unnecessary downloading to non-peak hours (0:00am to 18:00) as much as possible, this would benefit ALL of our customers including you on a long term basis. To express our thanks to your support in avoiding big downloading in peak hour, we are planning to award those top customers with lowest usage in peak hour and we will announce more details later."
(^ whatever that means...)
