100GB a month is equivilant to roughly 146 full .iso images (if my math is somewhat right). I think the 100GB cap is really there to deter heavy file sharers, ubergeeks running a server farm in the basement, and business that need HUGE bandwidth. Incidently I think you'd have to push 40kB/sec (320kbps) 24 hours a day, 30 days a month, to reach the limit. I could be wrong, but if you used the phone and played world of warcraft 24/7 for 30 days solid you likley wouldn't reach the limit. -Ryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
