$485/month compared to static 24/7 pricing.
Can I calculate costs for multiple locations at once?
Yes. Click "Add Site Group" to create multiple location profiles. Each group can have its own
bandwidth tiers, business hours, and site count. The results show per-site and total pricing across your entire portfolio.
What is NaaS dynamic bandwidth pricing?
Network as a Service (NaaS) with dynamic pricing bills bandwidth by the hour based on the tier you're using.
Instead of paying for 1 Gbps 24/7, you can schedule 1 Gbps during business hours and drop to 1 Mbps overnight —
only paying for what you actually use.

Yes. Click "Copy Link" to generate a shareable URL that pre-populates the calculator with all your
