It is completely up to Orcon.

However, there is a guaranteed International cap on your service, and no
guarantee that your service will stay limited at 128 kbit. So its your job
to make sure you stay under your cap. If you exceed your cap, then
theoretically you pay.

Also, from your example, if you had tucows.com if your queue, then of course
eventually you would have downloaded all of tucows anyway (even on a capped
service), which would have meant moving about 1.6 gig a day until it was
done. Which would of course put you over your cap.

Of course, only Orcon can answer this question. And in your hypothetical
question, why the hell don't your just download from
http://tucows.inspire.net.nz (national b/w) :)

Plus, I remind you, this is not technical in nature, so feel free to move
across to adsl-chat if this thread continues for a while.

Hi,

If I am on Jetstart through Orcon. And my connection becomes uncapped. And I
download tucows.com, files and all. Who is responsible for the bill?

Hypothetically, of course.
