I REALLY hate my ISP now!

do they at least let you roll-over your unused GBs each month

I'm using Bell right now
the price is around the same, $70 for a huge amount

I suppose its not that bad. I mean, you can't expect them to charge the old lady that just uses checks her email the same as a huge bittorrent user

Not that I could see. I'm not a betting person, but I would be willing to bet the answer is no.

I don't download bittorrents, either. It's the whole principle of the matter that really grates me the wrong way. Another thing that really irritates me is they don't provide any way to see how much you are using. Good thing I don't play Silent Hunter or Oblivion any more downloading one or two of the mega mods out there!

That SUCKS.

If they do rollover, that's not too bad an idea. Allow syou to do some big downloads some months, and normal usage the rest. Ever since Time Warner started talking about it, I've been monitoring my data usage.

I've been using NetLimiter and Bandwidth Monitor to keep an eye on my usage. I can do between .5 and 1 gb a day

I wouldn't be surprised if all ISP's start to follow this method. Anything to bleed some extra cash out of the subscribers.

I'm glad limited connections do not exist here. No IPS offering such deals would survive more than a week here.
