Actually they drop back to 64K speed but that is only on the Jetsurf 10GB plan. The others you have to pay for if you go over the limit.

Not me. My JSG ping is excellent to play on the 64 player server. On my 128K the 64 player server would be off limit for me.

Re the FTP server, yeah that is a real bonus. Downloading a 200MB file at full speed. OH YEAHHHHH..... *droooolll*

Hi, I have a TCL Cable modem and I've been using "DU Meter" to check the upload and downloads (speeds and total traffic used over a period) for a while now, but a friend just put me onto NetLimiter which gives you a bit more control of things. try dumeter.com for downloads or google for netlimiter.

However be aware that the Jetstream meter uses about 2-4 times the usage of what anything else is measuring. As you are going to be charged on the Jetstream meter then you need to check it and not rely on others. At least until you get a handle on things.

234126 2004-05-04 07:52:00 Just go to your current ISP's website (be it xtra or whatever) and logon to your account and check your MB usage from month to month, this will give you some idea of the plan you need, I think most ISP's provide this information within your account.
My kidds play Tibia and yes it uses very little bandwidth and yes once
you are hooked up to Jetstream on whatever plan your phone will always work.
