yes it does. and if your isp happens to be bigpond they'll count your upload as well, even though they say they dont. scummers.

i have a 1mb connection with a 3gb DL limit. ever scince we got BB about 8-9 months ago ive been going way over this limit, ive been DLing 15gb's a month  scince i got it but nothing has been said and there have been no extra costs, my DL speed has stayed the same as well, guess im just very lucky.

If you want to monitor your DL usage, theres a program called DUmeter, just type that into google and get it from there. i think you need to register it but that can easily be sorted

Telstra... that's why it's crap . Thats why the whole Aus broadband network is crap compared to the rest of the world.

Well that sounds crap - my feelings go out to all Australians who have to live with up/down limits...

I'll pay 500 NOK = 108 AUD per month, and get to do whatever I want on a 16000/8000 line (and Sweden's worse (I hate you ))

Just to put it into perspective, 500 NOK is about 5 hours work at a local grocery-store or something similar..

Absolutely ridiculous. Note to self - don't move to Australia. Looks like the Nordic European countries are doing fine on the broadband-front.. BTW how much is a 10M/10M connection in the U.S.?

lol McBondi, has anyone told you part of your username is the same as one of our most famous beaches?? (And when McDonalds buys it, it will be exactly the same!)

Jackabo, I'm with iiNet on a 4gb/4gb BB2 monthly plan, and I'm only using aprox. 10mb - 50mb per night on anywhere between 1 and 3 hours of BF2.

My advice, stay away from the pron and the muzak!
(ok, ok, just take it easy on the muzak)

From what I've heard, Europe has some of the best BB in the world, even better then the US..
