ok, i switched from optus@home to adsl telstra, and apart from being worse than going back to dial up!!!! they count wireplay, they HAVE too - we play 90% of the time on wireplay servers or ausgamers... we downloaded a stack of upgrades on wireplay, still billable = total! WTF? i'm ringing the ACCC asap cause I dont understand how this f***ing thing works!!! |

Raider - that picture was actually taken from a test. The test was - A monkey was given two artifical mothers, one was made of hard steel, but provided food and milk. The other was soft, and didnt provide anything. They found that the baby monkeys would rather starve in the arms of the soft mother. |

trotsky, ive been gaming alot on wireplay lately and it doesnt seem to be counting on the usage page. ive heard that however, downloads from the wireplay ftp are counting, but http isnt. I dont know how much truth is in this rumour but i wouldnt put it past the f***ups. we havent leeched anything illegal this month, just using cable normally, webpages, irc and gaming and we're allready up to 2750MB with 7 days still left in the f***ing month. It's just stupid :( |

omg.... idiots who thought he went to telstra by choice fairly obvious that he either moved house or optus stopped providing too him I bet anyone 90% of BPA/adsl did not get optus for the simple reason that they couldnt other 10% got bpa because they got cable b 4 O@H was released or they had nfi about cable and did no research |

I wouldnt move to a house that couldnt get optus ... that would be like moving to a suburb that you couldnt get hookers and drugs at the local schools. |

i moved out of my house near uni (a share house) because i am going overseas soon, and dont want to pay rent when im not there. i went back home, but we cant get optus :( do you really think ANYONE would get telstra by choice?? also, my brother did a test of sorts. he checked his usage, was at 2.2gig - downloaded the 1st 2 things for about 10 days, next day after it has been updated (its been updated every day for me) i am on 2.92gig BILLABLE, and my Unrated moved 20meg even tho it was 100megs all up it only moved 20 good work telstra fags. |

Ah it makes sense now. This is the reason I jumped ship on telstra I thought they'd pull some sort of s***. And they broke their promise on the being able to have the account cut off after 3 gig. |

Just to clarify a few things for you. The entire Wireplay website and game server farm do NOT count towards your limit. This includes our files section also. If you play games or download things from Ausgamers, or the Australian Sim Racing Group CS Servers(Sponsored by Wireplay), these WILL contribute to your usage as these are not Telstra property. If you have any other questions about Wireplay I suggest you either email support@wireplay.com.au or, if you have a question about your BIG POND account - call their help desk. Cheers, Helchick |

Yea I had only a 12MB gap between billable useage and total usage... I play on the WP server a lot... I had downloaded nothing either when ti was like that... I don't know what the score is. I don't care at the moment, but if I get a bill for going over 3gig I will be pissed off. There are heaps of stories of big f***ups though... A quote from www.whirlpool.net.au One reader reports having received an 80% usage warning email, followed some time afterwards by a 50% usage warning. She claims both emails were received on the 3rd December, just three days after excess usage charging came into effect. She also claims that for much of that time her computer was switched off and the most she could have used was 300MB. |

and a few days ago, the gap was 20mb sure the gaming servers are excluded? sure some telstra tech didnt f*** it up, like they did my bpgay install? (which took 7 technicians to come out to end up fixing it) |

I just compared my DUmeter logs and the Telstra Usgae Meter. The DUMeter logs are nearly always less than what is stated on the Usage Meter, however on a few days the Usage Meter says more... Annoying thing is though DUMeter counts everything, including data going across my LAN - so if I am on the other computer and I download 100MB, DUMeter will count 200MB... 100MB from the internet, and then 100MB from my LAN transfering the file. Ah well, so long as usage meter always says less than DUmeter it is good enough I spose. |

How are we supposed to know that you d*******..he never says it in his post...your just guessing too f***nut..so don't go flaming us without knowing yourself. Well i assumed he had some intelligence, whereas you assumed he was a moron. Therefore i came to the conclusion that optus became unavailable to him for some reason, whereas you came to the conclusion he was an idiot. Hence, i told you to use your brain. |
