I hate Dial-Up:mad:! I can only download 600 MB per month (20 MB per day). Everyone should really feel sorry for me. It is so hard to live like this:mad:.
Your telling me that you PAY for DIALUP and only get 600 MB of DOWNLOADS?!

You do realise Exetel have services of 512/128 ADSL with 1GB limit for $25?!

And I AM your REFERRER if you DECIDE to CONVERT.

You could go satellite if you are that desperate.... or i'm sure that your exchange will be enabled soon, unless u can't get it on your line 4 some reason

Why can't u get ADSL? Is your exchange not enabled, or are you behind a RIM?
I think it is because my exchange is not enabled, but I have no idea what a RIM is:p.

I suspect that capping is automatic, depending on network traffic... I don't think there's some guy watching you download stuff, going "Hmmm should I cap him.... no that would be cruel! Oh what the hell..."
