I transfer UPLOAD well over 1GB a month from my cable connection (3.4Mbit down, 1Mbit up). I pay a flat rate of 34.99 a month. I probably average 2-4GB down per month, since i'm always downloading new distros and such. My ISP (optimum online) has never contacted me about bandwith issues, nor do they say anything about how much you can use in a month. Is it not like this everywhere else? If I had to pay for my bandwith I'd be so depressed, and I'd probably *gasp* go back to dialup so that I'm not encouraged to use a lot of bandwith.
