Does Eircom actually charge you for going over 6GB

I have the istream multi with the 6gb download limit
256 up/1024 down

i got kazaa and edonkey going at full blast

already i have downloaded 2GB in 10 hours!!!

i was told by someone who works for eircom (not saying who) that they dont actually have any way of knowing if you go over the limit

so has anyone been charged for excessive downloads?

i stream multi ?, do you mean i stream enhanced. I am on that 1mb down 256 up and afaik there is no download cap.
I would transfer between up/down about 4-5 gig a day.

when i called to ordered it i asked what was the next package up from istream solo and she said it was istream multi with a 6gb download limit for about 160 euro/month (i hope that included tax, i forgot to ask

)

i just found this

enhanced is the same as mutli but without download limit
damn i should have asked for that one

is it possible to upgrade istream the package?

i just got istream so i dont know if i will be charge for it
i would rather pay 50 euro then risk being charged a few thousand for doing 4gb a day

on the phone when I ordered the Multi (€169 including VAT) they told me there is 6GB of transfer included in the base price, but that they aren't planning on charging for overages except in the cases of gross abuse. 2GB a day on a p2p network would probably get yourself label as abusive and charged accordingly (3 cent/MB charge)

the literature actually says that they may charge you 3.6C per meg over 6 gigs
