A method including receiving a request for a service or an application from a user device associated with a customer; determining a type of service or a type of application; providing the service or the application; performing real-time tracking of the customer's usage of the service or the application based on the type of service or the type of application; generating one or more recommendations pertaining to the service or the application based on the real-time tracking; and sending the one or more recommendations to the customer via the user device.

Recommendations based on real-time usage information

A device defines a first bucket for general Internet protocol (IP) traffic provided to and from a user device associated with an open network, and defines a second bucket for quality of service (QoS)-based traffic provided to and from the user device. The device also assigns a first billing rate for the general IP traffic associated with the first bucket, and assigns a second billing rate to the QoS-based traffic associated with the second bucket, where the second billing rate is greater than the first billing rate. The device further associates the first billing rate and the second billing rate with a subscriber associated with the user device.
