The e-mail correspondence below shows that there was an admitted error
in Jetstream usage accounting. I was unable to get confirmation of my
suspicion that about 300Mbytes of "free" traffic was incorrectly debited
to my usage account last month.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Cheers -- Ross
