by connections (see explanation)
Explanation:
the technical term would be "by pipes of 0 upto 128 Kbps" but "pipe" is a technical term, not a term for end-users. Or you could translate with "from 0 upto 128 Kbps : x €". Or "x€ between 0 upto..."
See : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe
in internet slang, a pipe refers to a data backbone, or broadband Internet access (e.g., a "fat pipe" refers to a high-bandwidth connection).

very helpful, thanks. It is not a contract between a provider and an end-user, so I found the term pipe fitted perfectly. Good suggestions from Sam and Yasser too, thanks everybody.

Bandwith


Explanation:
Applied in context (ISP Service Agreement) the term refers to something similar to "Burst" Bandwith, which is when billing for connectivity beyond the committed level.

I'd say the phrase "por tramos de consumo de 0 a 128 Kbps" would be best translated to "by bandwith consumption from 0 to 128 Kbps"
