Re: Imagine if Utopia had a drug for 'CANCER' said by jjcrandall:on a side note, Mstar.net is 40 a month for 10 up/down, xmission is 45 for the same thing. (i don't think mstar is capping though, xmission usually caps dsl so maybe fiber as well??) but sign me up
The home package that ISPs are offered for resale to residential customers includes 100GB of data transfer a month. That is a UTOPIA charge, and if any provider intends to stay in business, that limit that will be passed on to the consumer. We are billed by UTOPIA for overages. |

That's about 1 day's transfer at full speed (UL or DL only). |

Thankyou for clearing that up. It was very hard to find any information on UTOPIA's website concerning the caps. |

What are the overage charges? and what sort of units do they bill in?
is there any absolute "you used too much!" they cut you off, or slow your speed level? Or can you use as much as you are willing to pay for? |

If they don't cut off access at some point, that means that pricing for their service is between $45 to around $6000/month, depending on usage. |
