For those that do not qualify for the unlimited service, traffic will go unmonitored until you reach 20 GB per month. Thereafter, normal data transfer cost of $20.00/1GB/month will be billed to your account. If you want to pre-pay for bandwidth overages, you will be billed $10.00/1GB/month.
what kind of bs is that
$20.00 PER 1 GB after 20 GB of bandwidth!

At those insane rates, you're better off getting more accounts at $20/per account. :D

What are you talking about insane.
Thats another marketing Scheme.
They give you up to 20 GB to use at cheap rate. For the people who over 20 Gb its gonna be 20 bucks a gb so if you go over 5 then waam $100.00 in profit. For the people who does not know if they go over they would prepay $10 per GB if they don't go over the $10 is free money!

What about smart people who just get several accounts with 20 GB bandwidth each?

Call me stupid if you wish but if it is unmonitored how will they realise when you reach the 20gb limit?

greatgraddage, they have software that monitors the usage.. so at the end of the month you can calculate how much you have used and pay..

Ah, but that is monitoring it, but as they say:

And makes you think they will let you do that when they know they will get much much more profit by chargin $20/GB overage for a single account?

No wait!!!
The best thing is when they change the Terms at any given moment just to suite their needs, they have done it MANY times before.
The same exact ways they change some of the reseller fees. One month Real Audio is free, then it costs $10 and then it was free again. hahahahahahahahhhaaaa
Lets have a contest and see who can really figure out what the CI in ***** stands for.... and the the first numb nut that says 'Creative Innovations' gets an umbrella over their head.... haha

... sounds like a classic cash flow generator. Maybe they need to pay for another marketing/advertising gig, so they swoop in for a one-time burst of fees. Can't keep it there long-term though, or people will leave when it starts to sink in how much $$ they are spending month after month. So they change it back to free once their checkbook is nice and full again.
*a guess*

CI stands for "got you."
Of course it is encrypted. What did you expect.

$20 per Gb = rip off
And if people are paying them that much I have to say we are an idiot.
