You can still get some pretty hefty charges in the few days/hours that you
didn't notice.  For instance we did have a customer who put up some large
jpegs on their site of the WTC and managed £2000 exess bandwidth charges in
24 hours.  They got an automatic email telling them that they were close to
their 8 gig/month limit but actually read the email a bit too late.

And our bandwidth is not exactly expensive, the charges could have been
massive if we charged more, so it can happen and cobalts are like sieves.

Will.
