<p>There is provided a method for providing content to network devices in a communication network. A level of congestion of the communication network is determined ( 305 ). A cost of service is calculated based on the level of congestion ( 310 ). The network devices are informed of the cost of service ( 315 ). A first selection is received from a user of a network device specifying a content to be downloaded to the network device during a download process ( 320 ). A second selection is received from the user specifying a cost of service threshold for the download process ( 325 ). The cost of service is automatically compared to the cost of service threshold ( 330 ). The download process is automatically performed, when the cost of service is less than the cost of service threshold ( 335 ).</p> |
