I believe Telerama has a good faith usage policy which outlines such... I 
suspect it is more of a hands off until you become a big pain then they 
enforce it.... the nice neighbor policy...

Like any service provider/ISP warez guys and mad server users kill 
profitability and erode service...

$40 a month for a T1 is just nuts... people get all in a tiff about that... 
but... hey...

As for ComCast... I think people were speaking positively of them... now 
they have gobbled AT&T cable... anyhow... they in other markets have raised 
a stink and capped amount of transfer total per month and sent some people 
some hefty over usage bills...

Face it, consumer users consuming big pipes isn't sustainable.. not at the 
current cost and with peering and transit factors..
