    Got hooked up to IOL/East BB on Monday last. Have been monitoring my usage and have a 16GB cap.

    When does the 'month' start for IOL/Esat billing ? Is it from last monday or does it reset on the 1st of May ? Couldn't find anything on their FAQ.

    On the first of every month it resets - so if I were you I'd go mad right now cause you have 16GB and 6 days to use em in:D.

    Actually come to think of it, is everyone on 16Gig cap now?
    The notice they sent mentioned something like the month after the month you're billed or something obscure like that.
    Why can't they just set one date for everyone?!
    I'm on something like 7.5Gigs and I don't know wether to take it easy with the net usage or go completely nuts and use the other 8 gigs.
    :( :rolleyes: :confused: :dunno: :ninja: :ninja: :rolleyes:

    they'd warn you in your DSL stats if you were about to run out.

    You are on 16GB - if you didn't ask them to downgrade you anyway - if you are ever at any risk of breaking the cap there will be a warning on the usage calculator page saying you will break your cap in XX number of days. I never lose that warning:D. Right now it says 1 day.

    Ah phew thanks, I saw that warning once before but I didn't know it was relyable.

    I'm at 15.85 downloaded this month (ooops) but the warning that had been appearing on the usage page all week is gone. Did this ever happen anyone else?
