So they changed your contract. IANAL, but in most developed countries, this is against the law unless you agree to it. However, check your original contract carefully for loopholes that allow this kind of thing. >Based on your Internet activity >patterns over the past 3 months, this charge will probably not >affect you. If your past week's activity is anywhere near typical, then that statement is a blatant lie. If in one week you can exceed a limit, which they assure you wouldn't affect you over a whole month, something's very wrong. Looks like I was right about 30GB being small, too. Your usage pattern would fit well into a 30GB plan IF managed properly. >Needless to say, my DSL service is changing Wed. to a local ISP. Good idea. Corps listen to their wallets, and you can consider yourself lucky to live in an area that doesn't have a local unregulated monopoly. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not for attachments) website: http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/ geekcode: GCS$/E dpu(!) s:- a21 C+++ UL++ P L+++ E W+ N- o?
