and here's the best thing... Time Warner offers their own VOD and music and VOIP services... and those don't count toward the cap... can we say, anti-competitive, boys and girls?
And, by driving other inet VOD services out of business or at least keeping them to lower quality, it staves off folk dropping cable tv service.
If I get a spam.. it counts towards the cap.
If a virus emails me a bunch of.zips, it counts towards the cap.
Every video ad on every website I visit counts towards the cap.
If some random user (or botnet) decides to start sending UDP traffic to my IP, it counts towards the cap.
Will there be detailed bills showing all traffic I can review for errors?
Will folk sending me garbage I don't want be illegal (a la unsolicited cell phone calls)?
Will I be able to see exactly how much usage I've used up this month (and will it be up to date up to the minute)?
If you are interested in using AFS, head on over to openafs.org
You should also subscribe to the openafs-info mailing list, and the peole there will be more than happy to help you through your difficulties.
Setup is actually easier than most people make it out. There are a couple of quirks that can pop up, but if you know what those are, then, getting around them is easy.
What makes the setup actually seem more difficult is the way the documentation is written. The docs go through each step, splitting each step into separate sections for the various OSes.
If you take the steps for your OS and put them all in one place, it becomes a lot clearer what you are going to do.
Once again, figure out on what os/hardware you want to install the thing, then send an email to openafs-info and see if anyone has any tidbits to offer about your particular setup (of if you are just missing some critical step in the setup process).
Also check out the mailing lists for the individual OS you will be using (eg port-darwin for OS X/Darwin users).
