...saying cool it on the bandwidth. I have used 102.38% of my monthly cap and now I must pay.

I will get the charges reversed, fret not.

EDIT: BTW, the charges are $1.50 per GB up to a maximum of $30

Why? You used it, you pay for it.

True I did use it, and yes I should pay for it, but a 60GB cap per month is too low for what we pay for. We get fucked in Canada.

I have been a customer for a very long time and have never gone over, so I will politely ask them to reverse the charges and they most likely will.
 
The Owl believes you should call them and attempt to get the charges reversed. I believe spidey07 doesn't have the balls to call upon the customer service of a company that he pays good money to, and therefore gives poor advice based on such lack of testicular influence.

hooooo

60GB in a month? I'd break that in some weeks. Definitely call CS, amazing things can happen.

I have NEVER paid for internet service, so bad call there.
 
102.38% of 60GB = 1.428GB of excess bandwith. @$1.5/GB, that translates to $2.14 of excess charge.

Quite insignificant to either party. It won't cost much to your ISP to reverse the charge but even if they won't budge (you would have signed a contract agreeing to paying for excess usage, yes?), two bucks is not going to burn your pocket.

The Owl believes that it doesn't work that way and that the ISP rounds up to the GB. So it's probably a whopping $3.00. However, it's a matter of principal. A penny saved is a penny earned.

hooooo
 
I don't get why some ISPs are still capping here. I thought they passed a law against that recently?

I'm just glad mine does not cap. I can power download and not worry about how much I'm using.
 
wow that's rough! I probably tore that up last week between upgrading my new hackintosh and backing up new pictures.

How do they factor in uploads?
 
data caps are fucking retarded. do not sell me 20mb/s if you cannot support 20mb/s indefinitely. sell me whatever you can afford to have running 100% with no data cap and i will be happy.

The Owl appreciates the warm greeting and returns it with the utmost gratitude. Now, where does an Owl get breakfast around here?

the owl would be advised to camp out near an air conditioner, where his breakfast will be delivered to him via an automated process.
 
Damn thats retarded, I use more than 60gb/mo for mlb.tv alone. Downloaded over 100gb in tv shows yesterday.

You fail to realise that they will very generously round it up to $3.
