Nice of them to state that clearly nowhere on their web site. I wonder
if the trading standards people have an email address....
Download caps are not uncommon in the US - but generally set around the
1GByte per month level with a few dollars per hundred megs over. 30MB
(I'm assuming it's not 30Mb because 30MB is rediculous enough) gets you
maybe three hours of Quake 3 a month. That's beyond a joke. Are you sure
it's not 30Gb or 30GB? Or maybe you get 30MBytes of web hosting? I find
it very difficult to believe they would set a cap at 30MB.
