Based on your CPanel usage stats it looks like you are correct as far as not using more than 300GB of bandwidth - KNOWINGLY. You probably have an infected machine that is sending out DDoS, and that wouldn't show in CPanel, but it would show on your MRTG. I think it is very irresponsible for LT to let one of their customers send out a DDoS attack, especially for that period of time. They should be monitoring that and notify you, not as a courtesy regarding your usage, but as a response to a violation of their AUP (I hope sending outbound ddos is against their AUP).

USE BANDMIN. That will tell you exactly how much bandwith has been used. This compinsates the the Cpanel account, Updates. Everything the server transfers it is logged here.
Login to WHM. then scroll down to Service Configuration. under that you will see bandmin. At the top of the screen it will say "Change Bandmin User/Password" you will notice that the world "Bandmin" is linked. Click on it to see your bandwidth information.SIP Trunking and VoIP Lines, Numbering (DIDs and DDIs), Low Cost Minute add-ons, Secure SIP and VoIP.

If you have somehow used that much, they should cut you some slake. How much bandwidth is allowed to be used on your server?

I think that LT should probably cut you some slack on their part. It seems pretty obvious that it wasn't your doing, and they most likely don't pay per GB anyway. Especially if the overage costs are as high as some of the people are suggesting...it just seems a little unrealistic for LT to expect that.

I see two things wrong.
1. His server was not secured properly, no matter how his computer became comprimised, whether it was a script or not doesn't matter, it's the fact it got comprimised, when it could have been avoided.
2. He was not properly monitoring his server, and was not properly using the methods that were supplied to him by layeredtech in order to keep an eye on his bandwidth stats.
Why should a company pay for your mistake.. When you paid for a server that the company advertised as unmanaged and fresh.. But didn't spend the money to get decent security done on it?
I say, he needs to pay what he owes, and use it as a lesson. It's not like someone skipped the bill on him which caused him to be late on payment. He used a CONSIDERABLE amount of bandwidth.VPSHelp - Coming soon to a newbie near you.0

They certainly have the RIGHT to ask for that money. However, they arguably did not lose anything with that bandwidth usage, as they *should* have enough bandwidth to cover his usage...and while it is his fault that his server was compromised, there is something to be said for cutting a customer a break to have them think highly of you. Maybe they shouldn't just forget it ever happened, but reduce it a little. Not because they have to, but because that would be the nice thing to do, and the favor would most likely not go unreturned. Would you rather keep a customer for a long time by forgiving some of their debt, or charge them out of existence so they can't continue to host with you?

I understand what you're saying...I would probably do the same thing. I'm more just rambling about utopian values than actually making any sort of statement...it IS 2am here

Try BANDMIN. You could be having all this discussion because of a a techniqucal fault with LT.

This happened to me with Staminus actually..I used like 2.7 TB of bandwidth and I just ended up leaving, coulden't pay it.
Anyways, if your server is linux/BSD, try "bandwidthd". It will monitor and tell you the usuage of EACH ip with graphs.0
