My dad informed me tonight that we went over the limit by quite a bit in May… have to pay about 80 bucks (AUD) thumbs down to that. I hate download limits. 😠 Do people out there have the same problem? 👽 ---

nope. blueyonder (UK) has unlimited bandwidth usage 🙂 apparently ntl (main competitors) have just put a 2gb a day limit on theirs. not sure if they charge you extra, or just cut of your conn. either way: haha 😛 ---

if your service is giving you limits, then switch to someone who doesn’t, verizon for example. they don’t have a limit, but they are in pits dancing with the devil known as the RIAA. if you don’t wanna get caught by them downloading MP3s, choose someone else. if you otherwise don’t give a rat’s ear, go ahead; they’re a good service. ---
