(If it was, you might have reason to complain about the pricing). They will monitor the total amount used in their "billing period". When they see the use getting up, they can and will look at who's using the most. They can see that. They'll have a programme called something like "Findapig" running all the time. If they need to reduce the total use, guess who's going to get "capped". Even if it's manual, they have the ability. ;) Graham L (2)

Fascinating subject.

So many urban myths.

I asked Xtra about it and was told that it happens automatically now - yet others tell me differently.

Two months ago I went over my limit - 10 gig - 2MB.

They let me go to 11.8 gig then turned me back to 56 K and then just before the end of the month turned it back up to 2 MB.
