That's a teenager who used to have a file sharing program and didn't limit the 
number of people who could connect to his machine at any one time. <yikes!>

Kudos to the management at Springnet, our provider. When I called trying to 
figure out what had happened and we determined it was "outgoing" traffic they 
waived the extra fee even though the transfer limits were very clear in the 
user agreement.

By the way... "We" don't run any sort of file sharing programs any more 
either.
