That's a bit better...less than 4GBs a day, which isn't too bad for people
that use the net the way it is meant to be used...

If the upstream is included then as one bloke pointed out, if he is d/l
the ISO's for various Linux distros and then allowing others to get it
from him, he'll soon be reaching the high usage level....

Maybe Phil will put our minds at rest and tell us that there are pipes that
can allow people to just d/l as much as they want...oh...and also allow the
ISP to make a profit...

It might be time for me to put a monitor on here just to see how much

ExCathValy, how the hell does anyone thinking of going with them know

Yep...I didn't like it when Phil told me my uploads count as well, just
lucky I'm not an heavy user or that would have caught me out for sure.

that at 256...
