This was UQ Ipswitch (at that time that's where the IxD program was, no?) ? And this was 2009.

I think they had a maybe 200 MB/mo.

At the same time at Stanford, I was using about 50 TB/mo.

Edit: update: I was one of the largest bandwidth users, they sent me a letter every month. No I will not go into detail.

I was a UQ student 2005-08 and can confirm you got 150mb/month quota with the option to buy more at $10/gb. If you lived on campus that was your only option for Internet.

Thankfully they've upped it now.

And they wonder why DCHubs were so prolific through the UQ colleges...

Thanks for confirming this. My 2009 date was off, it was actually 2007 and I glad you clarified for me. My 200 MB/month was based on rough memory and I thought I might have made it up.
