Yup. Unlike Xmission's DSL service, Xmission residential UTOPIA circuits are metered with 100 GB/month included in the monthly fee. Above 100 GB/month, Xmission charges for additional UTOPIA bandwidth. That's their official policy, anyway. Having yet to exceed the monthly cap myself, I don't know how strictly the policy is enforced. UTOPIA itself charges ISPs on a per-bit basis, so Xmission is just passing costs on to those who use the bits. I cut WAY back on bittorrent traffic when I switched from a DSL line to UTOPIA. I guess that's what happens when the bits are no longer "free". I find it odd that UTOPIA bills by the bit, but maybe *I'm* just odd that way.
