do you have your contract or service information? It should say there what your rate per megabyte or gigabyte over your cap is.

[craig R33]

just checked, its 15c per MB

[Damo_R34]

should be about $150 for the excess downloads then, not a grand! maybe they added a 0? lol

[Dohmar]

its optus wireless ''broadband'' aka, fancy name for shit dial up.

yeah optus aren't much better tho at 15c a meg you'd be wondering why you were charged a grand instead of $150

Isn't that 20 gig on a 5 gig limit?

[craig R33]

hahahaha yup, i just worked it out..... whooops

[craig R33]

how the f**k did i downlaod 20 gig? i think its wrong....

[Dohmar]

how the f**k did i downlaod 20 gig? i think its wrong....

did you leave your peer to peer software running? optus and telstra both charge uploads as part of their 'acceptible usage policy' (usually= download limit but since they charge for uploads too, you might very well be screwed here)

-D

[craig R33]

na, i only leave limewire on while im on the comp, never leave it going, specially if im not downlaoding....

just see what they say,, we will play fair for as long as they do...

commence being on hold

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnow.

[scandyflick]

if you were using demonoid youd be using something like bitlord to download the torrents, if you were downloading high demand movies, your upload rate wouldve been just as high if not higher than you download speed.

[medman2damax]

dude i feel for ya and all.... but how did you go 15gb OVER your limit and not know it??

Hope you can sort that out, who has a grand to throw away!!

[J - Rad]

yeah, I'd imagine the streets of Adelaide will be considerably quiet over the next few weeks due to recent events..... I'm sure it'll pass though.

Late reply:

It's easy to say it'll die down, which it probably will. But as soon as it does decide to die off you can guarantee that someone else will f**k it up for everyone or it'll be x-mas holidays. Sad really, I've been thinking really hard about selling up because I cannot be bothered with all the bullshit that will be going on from now on.. I don't even see the point in getting the car off defect for the time being.

Telstra + Optus = Arse Rapists!!!

I don't think there is an issue. I believe that the police at least have not tarred us all with the same brush and know that the street racers are in a minority.

[rad100]

they just talked about turning the old talem bend mitsu plant into drag strip.. 1.6km's baby!

7news that was!!
