I got some promo mail from them yesterday about a similar offer. I'm not using them, nor do I ever plan to and the letter hit the trash rather quickly!

lol after trying to convince her to switch hosts for months this finally convinced her to due so.

Nothing bad about them there support is great
its just horribly priced in my eyes
we are switching to a host for 1/3 the price with almost double the services and features.

Their overage prices may be high but their normal prices are not high at all for a host who plans on making a profit and staying in business for a long time. They have to charge a real price and not el cheapo prices because they actually have a business plan that includes lawyers, taxes, rent and so on.

13.95-15.95 for 200MB & 6GB is not expensive. It's a fair price for a good service.
