Unfortunately my rural exchange has a target of 500 with only 131 interests registered. I've joined the local campaign group, but don't hold out much hope.

There is an article written by the Admin of our forum. I will post a link if Neil doesn't mind it explains Expectations - Unmetered Usage
Thanks for the link, Kitty. I didn't realise there was an expectation of 300 hours per month on-line, and agree that's unreasonable, but I would hope that the cap wouldn't be set below 150 hours.

Of course, it's affected by the connection speed. At present I'm connected at 31,200 bps (compared to the usual 44,000 or 45,333) and, over the last couple of days it's been as low as 26,400, and browsing is taking so long and failing so often that my time on line is significantly increased.
