You prolly don't listen to internet radio stations or download much. I get the feeling I would go
over 10 Gb easily. Who out there is on a 10 Gb plan a wishes they had more?
I guess several will be tempted to reply, "I have 10 Gb and it's plenty" but I want to know if there
are are any users frustrated with a 10 gb limit.
Oh... a correction TelstraClear do supply a Static IP with their cable service, it's part of the whole
deal with a cable modem etc.
