So theoretically you can get capped in 10 minutes? ;-)

Does the contention ration stay the same though?  In the early days of
ADSL in South Africa, once you got capped, your local traffic was left
as is (so you can browse local sites without any problems) but your
international access were switched to a single 64kbit line that you
shared with *all* the other capped ADSL users. If you happened to hit
your cap in the first few days of the month it was usable, but even
after the first week it just wasn't worth trying.   Nowadays, as far as
I know, they just cut you off when you hit your cap - not sure, after
the last time I moved house the phone company never pitched to install
my line until two days before I moved to the UK.  Oh well....
