|That's the jetstream helpdesk and they aparently can send you
|(via email) a
|more detailed usage report (I've just requested one).
|
|I've also noticed that my usage appears to be growing at a
|ridiculous rate
|at the moment - 15-20MB a day - and all I'm doing is a little
|websurfing,
|checking emails, and running ICQ during the evenings -
|somethings up....
