I'm don't think so. Woosh didn't actually charge him for his excess traffic. They simply recommended that he change to another plan. Besides, it says here (www.woosh.com) that "Unlimited" traffic is "Subject to reasonable use. All Home plan prices include GST."

191592 2003-11-14 05:23:00 Just thought I'd mention that the Slingshot ADSL offering is sold under the same terms as Woosh (unlimited, but subject to reasonable usage). segfault (655)
191593 2003-11-14 05:25:00 So really its not unlimited... What "bigger" plan can you be on over "unlimited" ??? Chilling_Silently (228)

Good point Chilly, but nope... JSG servers don't often run (for the games I play), so most of my gaming uses my regular bandwidth

191595 2003-11-15 00:46:00 given the amount you could theoretically download at 30k/s in one month (some 70GB), i would think that unlimited would tend to suggest that reasonable use would be anything under 60% of that value, not a measly 7GB!!! Bender (4840)
191596 2003-11-15 00:55:00 Perhaps they're betting on customers only using four hours per day, a theoretical maximum of 12GB of data (going by Bender's calculations), instead of 24/7. agent (30)
191597 2003-11-15 01:33:00 That'd count out people like myself who leave apps running 24/7 (MSN, ICQ, Jabber, Email, Downloads etc).

I still dont see how you can have a plan that offers more transfer than "unlimited"?!
