This sounds like a very generous offer, better than most I have seen and I've been sort of tracking these things with an eye to switch when my year comes due. The important thing to look for in the Terms of Service is what course of action the provider takes IF you exceed you band width. If A) they stop further downloads that is annoying but okay. B) They let you continue above your limit up to a maximum billable point at which time they stop further downloads. That is annoying but at least you know what kind of charge you will be hit with (this is what my provider does - I've never gone over the limit, by the way). Or C), they blithely let you continue on while racking up unlimited charges. That could be very dangerous. If it's A or B, then fine, no problem. If it's C then be very careful to look at you totals and be ready to pull the plug yourself if the limit is approached. But these limits are pretty generous and you would have to be pretty popular to exceed that 10GB limit (which is entirely possible). jon
