- Note that you get 1 hour/day free connect time BETWEEN 3pm AND 3am.
- Extra hours are $1/hour (in 15 min increments) DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
-
- From 3am-3pm, you have UNLIMITED access, which does not count toward your
- 1 hour daily allocation. And no, you can't "save up" your prime-time hours
- and lump 'em together.
-
- I use the system quite regularly, I've only gone over the 1 hour ONCE, and
- that was by mistake - I walked away from my PC for a bit. 57 minutes, to
- be precise. Cost me a buck.
-
- I don't have the FTP package ($25/month); I just have "basic" at $15/month.
- I believe they still sell 1-year packages (12 months for the price of 10);
- call 'em up and ask.
-
- Disclaimer - I'm not affiliated blah blah blah - I just like the service
- I've been getting!
