More and more companies providing cable/dsl connections are setting limits on bandwidth usage - at least here in Canada. For example, I am allowed 5 GB upload/download monthly, and an additional charge of $8 per 1 GB after that. I was monitoring my usage for BB live feeds, and the trasfer rate was about 70 MB per hour. Just a heads up, in case anyone has a similar cable/dsl plan.

That is BRUTAL, I know of no US provider doing this, at least none of the large providers. Pricing is different download levels, but no time nor usage limits (download/upload bandwith exception)
