That about sums it up. Everything happened just as predicted. So sad. My advice to Thinus would be not to bother with the inflated and overly restricted B4H plans and chose a suitable provider and plan via broadbandchoice.com.au Go for a plan that - provides you with at least one static IP address - gives you 512/512 if you need to upload much (e.g. online backups, VoIP) or else at least 1512/256 if you are more into downloading - does not meter uploads at all - gives you a minimum of 24GB/month downloads included - has no restrictions whatsoever regarding your use (e.g. providing services) - charges no more than $3 per "excess" GB Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
