Well, they claim they have huge 'net pipes, and then they say that you can use as much as you want for no additional charge. $25 doesn't buy all that much bandwidth.. ISP's generally are doing fairly well to be paying $100/mbit. So, if you use more than about 1/4mbit, they are probably going to start losing money on you. If you're sucking down one of their DS3's (if they really have one), they are losing a ton of money on you. :) -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
