<P><FONT SIZE=2>The cogeco business was supposed to be unmetered (technically uncapped, not unmetered) too, but every month, they'd start hassling me when I'd pass 50gb. Finally got tired of arguing with them<BR>

Oddly, Rogers' business services are priced the same as their home<BR>
service. This is their "Home Office" comparison chart:<BR>
<BR>

Can't find anything on metering or servers, naturally.<BR>
<BR>
Interestingly, I just got off the phone with Rogers tonight. I was<BR>
asking about how they meter Bittorrent, and was told two interesting<BR>
facts:<BR>
<BR>
1. They intend to cap only the upload of data through BT, not<BR>
download. It seems they want to cut your upload bandwidth in half<BR>
(i.e. in my case to 400 kbps from 800)<BR>
2. They're "in progress" on this capability right now. That is, it's<BR>
not working as intended in all locations.<BR>
<BR>
