Hopefully, their right to charge this is suspended by law, for now :) They also have a service where you pay per-hour (about US$ 0.65/ hour) for 1mbit/128 service, and skipping the quota (whatever you transfer while paying for this does not count on the quota) Unfortunately, there is a monopoly in DSL service :( Cya Evaldo Gardenali -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA99/C5121Y+8pAbIRAtGyAJ9LqmIGJhDARilQGalnbE9glYJoQgCfd66J obE/Y38t8rz3m23fmnpFo0s= =GaCJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
