We now have monthly limits, and it's extra cash if you go over. I haven't changed anything, and have never gone over before, but magically I am now.

Jesus, I would move if that happened. God only knows what I download a month.

It's not that you haven't gone over before, just that they never enforced it.

I agree they need to be smacked, though. Don't shape my traffic, Rogers! I paid for 10M down, I want 10M down. All. The. Time.

Time Warner is starting to do that in America.

This makes my road rage go to Level Chemda. Good thing I don't drive that often.

Thankfully, my ISP doesn't shape, has no limits, is fine with bittorrent and has a 24m connection.

Their fair use policy is basically 'don't be an arms dealer/paedophile'. I do seem to live as far away from the exchange as possible though.

So what do I do now?

I just upped it to 95. When we got the notices I never even went over 60, so I thought I'd be good.

GRRR.

a) 95 should be plenty, and
b) turn off the cam every once in a while, that's what's killing your quotas ;-)

I'm looking for a new ISP - I'm not sure if they're all like Rogers - it sucks that it's that, Bell, or some other sketchy company in my area, not alot of choice. I did like the polite letters saying they were implementing this in order to give their customers better levels of service (apparently by making them pay for stuff we were getting for free)........
