The megabyte limit is ridiculously small, actually.  I don't do
a lot of browsing, and certainly never do things like listen to
streaming audio or video.  Just my twenty-or-so Usenet groups,
a few mailing lists, and personal and work email.  And I have
exceeded my 100M limit almost every month since I joined.

When they start charging for mail and news, I'm pretty confident
that I'll go over the new 250M limit too, without changing my
behaviour at all.

Actually, I really don't give much of a toss about the megabyte
limit.  I just think that 28c/M for everything (even Usenet)
thereafter is gouging.  Get it under 20c, heading towards 10c,
and I'll be much happier...
