Is it normal in New Zealand for Uploads to count towards your monthly cap?

Our cap is almost gone already due to me doing a large number of uploads.

Do the ISP's have to tell you that the cap includes uploads as well?

Cheers,
Daniel

428131 2006-02-07 21:46:00 Its any data transfered, either upload or download, eg you upload 5 gb, and download 5 gb, and you have a plan of 10 gb cap,then you have reached your cap because 5+5=10 ;) Prescott (11)

Yes . As far as I know they all include uploads in monthly caps with one exception that I know of and that is Ihug . Uploads with Ihug are not counted . There may be other IPs with free uploads as well but I don't know of any .

Don't know about have to but it should be in their terms somewhere . If they don't specifically mention anything about uploads or downloads then I think you can safely assume that both are included .

It is when they mention downloads and not uploads that you would be right to query it .

Yes, Unless you are with IHug and then only Download data counts.
Another reason I changed.
