I never hit my max GB limit. That's 8.5GB a day. Unless I start
fileserving from home, or start some kind of home business with a high
data transfer rate, I'll never hit that limit.

Someone made a comment that rang true with me. The only people that go
above 250GB a month are bittorrent users that don't even watch all the
movies they download.

I would be happy to have metered usage. I think it's the most fair method
of pricing.
