I had an ftp and I up'ed about 9 gigs one month, they shut me down until I phoned them. They told me downloads they really didn't care about it was the uploading over a gig a month that pissed them off, so I think the limit is around a gig a month. Then he told me that if I had a business account they wouldn't care at all. I stopped the ftp after that cuz I didn't want to eat into the shared bandwidth that much but it was interesting to know that for the right price they just look the other way and let people eat as much as they want.

I did a backup of a server from work, and KNEW it would be a lot of traffic, so I called them in advance to let them know it was going to happen. My home account is just a normal residential account. My average month is much lower, perhaps 5-15 gigs. They'll care far more about upload, I suspect. Mine is always pretty low. I doubt I ever exceed a gig. Kev.
