adventdesigns: There are many programs out there that moniter your usage, I am using netlimiter (free version) for now to moniter my traffic until a fix for the xnet moniter is out.
Its also not had to keep a general idea of how much you've downloaded.
I know this already...
Sure we can do it ourselves with 3rd party programs, but what you record in your 3rd party monitor software, may not be the same as what xnet records, and its what xnet records that will be charged for...hence the likely chance of possible disputes...
But if the user is using xnets monitor sofftware, then there can be no dispute, as the customner will be able to see when and what data they will be charged for (as recorded by xnet themselves).
I know its coming, as Maverick and others have said already, so hopefully wont be an issue, but my point is that users are jumping into the dark, qand could be taking a little risk by using the plan now without those accurate records and monitoring.
