The NIC on a RAQ3 is 100mbit/sec. Approx 10Mbyte/sec throughput. (on my local network, I  get 9.8Mbyte/sec (possibly constrained by hard drive. Tested with 128Mb file transfer) using Linux->windows I get a max of 3.3Mbyte/sec.. Win2K->Win98 1Mbyte/sec!)

If you don't get an email telling you how much bandwidth you have used, and the compromise on your machine goes unnoticed...!

If the colo expects to get the money from you for the bandwidth used, there is little incentive for them to warn you.
