Question to those that have Internet.

Have any of you been surprised by download limits. I mean in Australia it is mind boggling. I really like to download view P2P. I mean gigabytes worth.

I am currently using megapass-lite. Should I expect any hidden charges in the future.

Thanks

Skippy

I doubt they limit.

Like Gord I am a pretty heavy user.

I probably download 15-20gigs a week, and upload 2-3 gigs a week.

If I had a stable computer, I would probably be uploading 50+gigs a week...however my notebook goes where I go, so I can't leave a computer up 24/7 for my friends to leech off me.

User limits suckarse.

Megapass lite sucks ass too. Why not go for premium?

As I understand it, you can't get Premium everywhere. Something to do with the quality of the lines in different neighborhoods. I tried to get Premium at my place in Ansan when I got here last fall and KT said I could only get Lite. I can't imagine them not wanting to be able to bill for a higher rate.

For comparison (since I'm not in Korea or Australia), I pay $5 CDN for every Gigabyte over 15 in a monthly period- but I'm not a downloading fiend; even when I was going heavy on the video I never hit more than 14GB.
