[MLB-WIRELESS] bandwidth issues for the future/internet acces s

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....
Did you also know potus definition of reasonable use is measured against an average set against all other potus at 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.
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...

  Forget Optus, their AUP status the bandwidth can't be shared to other users
  (except others living  in the same premises on an attached LAN).
