Quick estimate

Bandwidth savings calculator

Model what dynamic bandwidth saves against a static 24/7 commit. Three ways to do it: a fixed business-hours schedule, bandwidth that follows demand hour by hour, or point to point Ethernet on Demand. Most teams run full speed around the clock, even when nobody is working. Set your hours and speeds below.

Estimate savings from a fixed business-hours schedule on Lumen Internet on Demand.

Effective port cost:$250.00/mo per site· 1 site

Days that run on the peak tier. Every other hour of the month falls to the off-peak tier.

to
Security add-onsNone

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.

Estimates based on a 720-hour month (30 days x 24 hrs). Rates are hourly, per connection, stated in USD. Port access fees reflect 3-year term pricing, 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. Rates reviewed July 29, 2026.

On eligible services, Vigilis schedules lower committed-rate tiers during approved low-demand windows and restores the required tier before demand returns. The result depends on your carrier pricing and schedule inputs.
The calculator does not apply a universal savings range. It compares the static and scheduled cost generated by the rates, speed tiers, hours, and site counts you enter.
A bandwidth schedule holds the peak tier during the business hours you choose and an off-peak tier the rest of the time. Auto instead holds the smallest tier that covers demand in each hour, scaling up immediately and scaling down after a run of quiet hours. Ethernet on Demand prices point to point links, which can be disconnected entirely outside business hours.
Yes. Add a site group for each kind of location. Each group can have its own speeds, hours, and site count, and the results show per-site and total cost across your whole footprint.
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.
Lumen Defender and DDoS Essentials bill against the bandwidth schedule rather than as a flat monthly fee, so hours spent at a lower tier cost less to protect. Defender is available up to 1 Gbps. Where an 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.
No. One-time charges are shown separately and never enter a monthly total, so the monthly figures stay comparable.
Yes. In Auto 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 Vigilis.
Yes. Copy a link that reopens the calculator with all your inputs, export a clean PDF, or share to LinkedIn. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
