It just means what it says, it's throttling your upload to 12kB/s, so in terms of your cap, it means that cap will be reached more slowly, as well as keeping some of your bandwidth free for you, as pointed out by others. Whether limiting your upload speed as in my example will actually prevent you from breaching your cap is a calculation I leave to you. I'm not up to it in my current state :-))) In my experience, ISP's actually *do* include upstream bandwidth in calculating your usage, but as always, YMMV, and if it comes to a disparity of opinion between Derek Jennings and I, I cannot advise you strongly enough to go with Derek :-) -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 21:05:16 up 138 days, 22:22, 5 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power" -- Benito Mussolini
