    Not as far as I know, that would be rediculous.

    1Mb x 30 days = ~316GB/Month if you ran the connection wide open 24/7 which I dout you could do. May just want to email them and ask. Best to get it in an email so if they do comeback and say theres a limit you have an email saying otherwise...

    It's pretty hard to run the connection fully 24/7, believe me I try on my 512k cable :D

    End up averaging about 10Gb a week.

    Well unless they count uploads as well in that 160GB then it would be possible if your a warez type person....

    Me, MrDT and two other leechers, I mean housemates have the 512Kb package. Over the past ~3 months we've reached about ~250GB.
    With around 700GB of storage in the house, we shouldn't run out of space of at least another 6 months :D

    My whole house gets through about 70GB a month... and that's six of us.

    Did you not read the T&C fully? It will be in there somewhere.
