NOTE: They now monitor BW and if you show up on their list they will
warn you a few times then shut your connection down, until you promise
to play nice. I have a friend who just found out the hard way, that
they use a 30 day running total for BW usage, not a monthly usage.
So if you DL a ton of stuff to use up your "quota" before the end
of the month, you will be shutdown if you try to DL significant
traffic before your 30 days are up.
Back in 2000/1, I have had a friend who had that happened to him, but as
a Shaw customer
myself for 5 years I have never received a warning. Not to mention, I
am not into illegal
downloading/uploading (movies, music, what not) so I am not even close
at breaching
my data transfer limit. After I restarted bittorrent, I started getting
higher upload speeds.
