Vimeo has announced<\/a> that it\u2019s making some major changes to its bandwidth policy, after several creators spoke out about how the company pulled the rug out from under them by demanding large sums of money if they wanted to keep hosting their videos on the platform. The new policies replace nebulous terms with definitive ones, and guarantee that creators will have time to prepare for changes.<\/p>\n

In a post outlining the changes<\/a>, Vimeo says that its new cap for monthly bandwidth use is a flat 2TB. Previously, the policy was applied to users who were repeatedly \u201cin the top 1% of bandwidth usage,\u201d which Vimeo itself admits could\u2019ve been more transparent. The company also says that it\u2019ll alert users when they go over that 2TB limit, so you theoretically have time to figure out how to cut back on data use, or at least prepare for your bill to go up.<\/p>\n
