Even if a gaming geek, downloading those patches etc is only an occasional thing.  What they're targeting is people who are uploading massive files and movies etc.  Often (but not at all always) it's about pirating stuff.  I doubt if most of us would get that high on a regular basis… if they're like most companies I've read about so far at least, an occasional over count gets overlooked, it's the people that are constantly over they'll go after.  Just my opinion of course.

Actually, we go over frequently.  Weston is a gamer.  Usually we go over once a month, sometimes more.  HughesNet will give you one free pass a month.  After that, I have to pay an extra $10 PER DAY that we go over (or else they pretty much shut us off for 24 hours).  But, that's satellite, and I don't know if DSL will have the same limits.  If so, that's a bummer because I have been looking forward to some fine day getting DSL and being free from that.  Not that I have any hope of getting DSL any time soon!  Weston will go to college and move out before that happens, LOL.  (Minus Weston's gaming, we never go over.  Any time he is out of town, it never happens.  Only when he's here.)
