Urrrr, I'm on Jetstart (128k symetrical) with paradise as my ISP and I have the 10Gb cap with national at 1/10 rate... Means that in theory I could do 100Gb of national traffic.. Not going to happen really. I believe this option is still available.. The other thing for me is that I only got jetstart/adsl so it would be an 'always on' connection. In my biggest month so far (28days with paradise, not calendar months) I only clocked up 4.9Gb, and I used to do that occasionally with my 56k dialup, before ADSL was available where I live. 128k is fine as long as you've got a decent proxy (squid) on it, and you're not a download freak. Let's face it, how many distros can you really try out a month??? And for gaming the jetstreamgames.co.nz realm works on jetstart, even though I don't play games I have pulled down the Gentoo ISO's at 400KB/s from there, and it's free traffic. Cheers, Chris H.
