200MB in 24 hours is ridiculous. You couldn’t even download 25 songs from the iTunes store a day if you wanted to with that kind of limit.
Your right. Where we live, we are happy to have internet access at all. You can down load unlimited number of megs between 1 and 7 in the morning EST. We had slow internet and called tech support and no one mentioned the policy until we tried to download a huge pro-tools (music editing) file and it was going to take 900 hours. We called tech support.
The commercials lie to you. However, its better then nothing. Our kids watch entire movies over the internet. If we want to watch videos, we have to wait until we visit them.
