    Abstract: The invention allows for an Internet service provider to monitor its available bandwidth and offer users excess bandwidth at varying rates, hence filling the backbone when unused. The method is implemented by an apparatus who monitors traffic requests from the customer, and when recognizing a big data transfer will calculate the time needed to transfer the requested data, check if more bandwidth could be allocated, and offer a bandwidth increase for a predefined period of time in order to speed up this data transfer.
