| 215419 | 2004-02-21 03:48:00 | 8 bits gives 256 possible combinations (0 - 255). As you note, there are 2 4 bit nibbles to a byte. The weightings are: 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 Now sum these up and you get 255. With none you have 0. So 0 - 255 is 256 possible combinations. Don't they teach basic maths anymore? But thats not what was said in my post. If any of the downloaded data contains any illegally sourced copyright material, then under their terms and conditions (and all other ISPs as well) the account could be cancelled immediately. Its nothing to do with an "illegal byte" but data that is an "illegal file", irrespective of the size. But of course none of the 7+ MB (or unlimited amount) would ever be illegit, would it? |

| 215420 | 2004-02-21 04:03:00 | Well, I use Woosh, and am pretty happy after 6 weeks. The first month was around 12GB, and I haven't had a "bluey" yet. Lucky ? ? It works fine for me, since I don't have a phone line, I just have Woosh and a cellphone. I'm unbundled from the local loop in a big way :-) R2 |

| 215422 | 2004-02-21 04:48:00 | 256 combos, yep. I was off on the wrong track. So in truth, they don't really care how much you download? |

| 215423 | 2004-02-21 07:08:00 | I only read the T&C . I didn't write it, and I assume you can find it and read it for yourself? You make up your own mind from reading it . Read it and answer the question "what happens under these rules, as they are written today, if I download 7+ GB" All I am saying is, the only option is to discuss it with you as far as I could see . Its a short document, see what you get from it? |
