Well guys, I know im new, and I am one of those 24/7 gamers when i aint in college, and with chatting, uploading Large Graphic files for my website, photo's (slide films from my 35mm slr camera) and the smallest scan for a photo is about 4MB for a good scan, so can you imagine 4MBx36 frames? not to mention Graphic files nearly 20MB...

Linux ISO's, and everything,... im subscribed to the 1.5mbps package and my daily download is nearly 4 gigs maybe more...

But the phone line isnt under my name, and i dont think we were assigned any usernames to log onto the internet am I right? the only username we have is for us to access the ntl website(for upgrades, billing and etc), and email!

So that leaves me to beleive they cant monitor our account!, but what they can do is Monitor our IP, so each month they will monitor our IP and track down our MAC Address which each computer is assigned.

By doing so they will then find out accounts and monitor us through that way.
But since i hate having the same IP address every day i change my MAC Address and just turn off and turn on the modem and badabing badaboom, new IP.. anyways because this is getting real long and boring,
My theory is, NEW IP, YOU GET ANOTHER 30GB CAP, so what im saying is, just say u used 25Gigs of bandwidth on your IP, and got reassigned a new IP, you might just get another 30Gig?..

What do you guys think?
