My understanding is there is a zero cap, ie, all traffic attracts volume
charges, but....

National traffic is 3.5/meg (or $0.035).

Local game traffic to Paradise is free.

That $175 is a free credit to your traffic account so to speak.

So all International traffic, you get 500MB, all national 5000MB, free per
month, and once your $175 credit is gone, you pay at the rates...

And local game traffic, all you can eat!

Spoke to Shane Cole of Paradise at the week-end, he says it will be static.

I also spoke to one of the triallists who has been through a few iterations of
the speed adjustments, and he basically said the new service is as new to him
as it is to us... Though he has seen the boxes and run some servers for some
time (mostly Linux I think) no problems.
