But the measurements are made by computers. They must be correct. Mustn't they?

That will teach you. Move over to IHug and it would have only cost you $2 per GB or $40 for all that extra.

There's over a terabyte of usage there, it would still be in the thousands. It's only $2.95 for 1GB on his plan, on mine (the next one up) it's $2.95 for 2GB which is $1.50 a GB.

Missed the bit on the end that says another 1944GB used. Poor meter dispay.
