OUCH! Jean,

That's as bad as the Police coming to a persons door because of a
neighbors use of their connection caused them to investigate the
internet use at their house.

I'm glad Tom mentioned AT&T had started putting a cap on their DSL
internet subscribers.

I went to AT&T page to read about it and decided to use Their page to
see how much bandwidth I used in the last month, but decided not to do
that when I was asked to enter something, such as a Log In ID/Password.

They already know who I am when I am on their page(s), so I just decided
to wait to see if they ever put a notice in my Telephone Bill that I am
approaching the Limit they set. I read that I would get 2 Warnings
before they began charging me for extra internet use. So far they
haven't.

I'm not a heavy user of the internet, but I sometimes will download
something like a U'u .iso file.

And I watch Videos sometimes too, but after clicking on the Play arrow,
I will click Pause and change the Quality to 240 so less data will be
sent to me, and then I will wait and click Play about a minute later so
I can watch the video without it freezing on me because my buffer
emptied.
