<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Garamond>I have delt with optus on this issue a
few times, and they are quite cluless. You just lie and tell them you (and
the family) are using their fantstic service more, and how impressed you are
with the quality, reliability, wank, wank, wank. I think they get so
excited that you seem to be a happy and content customer they forget about it
and just bill you the extra bandwidth....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Garamond>Did you also know potus definition of
reasonable use is measured against an average set against all other potus@emoh
users, so essentially, if the average daily usage of all customers drops, and
you continue leeching all that porn off the net at your usual rate, you end up
exceeding the AUP quota......so I say, burn 'em.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Garamond>Incidently, having both telstra and potus
cable, you can route incoming through one and outgoing though the other, and
essentially have zero bandwidth usage, cause one of them bills on uploads, the
other on downloads. can't remember who did which, or even if this is still
the case. was the last time we did it 8 months or so ago...</FONT></DIV>
