Also bear in mind that you have to exceed your allocation for 3 months
before they take any action.  Also, bandwidth between 1am and 8am is
unmetered, so if you schedule your transfers, you can utilise much more
than your allocation.  Lastly, only download is metered.  Upload is
unlimited, which is great for those of us with web servers, or people
sending out motion-detected images.
