Worried You're Going To Go Over Your BendBroadband Bandwidth Usage?July is the first month that BendBroadband is capping your Internet bandwidth at 100gb/month and will be billing for overages (read up on the whole mess that ensued after the announcement here). Since I don't think the usage-based bills have been sent out quite yet, there hasn't been any reaction quite yet (don't think there will be much of one since they did raise their cap). But if you're concerned about going over, and want to make sure you don't, a local programmer has created a monitoring PHP script that will e-mail you your usage numbers whenever the script runs. You can read up on bbbUM here. I really have an urge to make this a public service where people can submit their user/pass, it'd be encrypted and can then email them their usage on a daily basis, but I really don't have that kind of free time on my hands.

This saga has seemed so weird, I'm in Australia and I pay around $60 a month for a 1.5 Mbit connection, capped at 15 gig. timmy said on 08/03/08 @ 09:23 PM: I cancelled my service a few months back, and BBB has sent me 2 statements the last 2 months telling me that they owe *me* $120ish dollars. This was a result of their billing snafu this past winter. I phoned and asked why i'm getting sent statements when they should be sending me a check... the response was 'check should be in the mail soon'. I don't miss the Tv nor the Inter Netz service from BBB TimE said on 08/08/08 @ 12:06 AM: I just switched from BendBroadBand to Qwest and their new 20Mbps service and while it's expensive it works extremely well and I haven't had any issues with it so far...and yes they have an excessive use policy but you'd have to download close to 250-300GB for them to bother you about it.
