Abstract

A wireless telecommunication network is configured to scale and transition usage limits of network services for subscriber devices connected thereto. For an intermediate time period following a subscriber failing to satisfy a service condition related to the network services, the wireless telecommunication network partially limits an Internet Protocol (IP) network connectivity service for subscriber devices associated with the subscriber using a firewall. In particular, the wireless telecommunication network configures the firewall to redirect Domain Name System (DNS) queries from the subscriber devices to whitelisted webpages of a quarantine IP domain. The whitelisted webpages are configured to enable users of the subscriber devices to resolve the subscriber's failure to satisfy the service condition. Following an expiration of the intermediate time period, the wireless telecommunication network can partially and/or fully limit usage of additional network services by the subscriber, thus balancing and allocating network service resources for other compliant subscriber devices.
