Well they also upped the speed on most of the plans, and downed the
previous limit a bit (100GB went to 95GB).

Apparently I tend to be in the 20 to 30GB range, so I guess my
bittorrent settings are perfectly reasonable.

They also say they charge per GB over the limit, up to $25, but fail to
say what happens when you exceed $25 worth of overusage.  Do they then
cut you off and call you bad names, or do they just say "have fun for
free".
