Default Doh! Didn't see this coming...
Well, I used to host vids....but look what my buddy got in his email box....

"Dear xxxxx,

Our check of your bandwidth usage for the month of july, shows that your account
is 1438.57 gigabytes over the limit set for your account (limit for silver plan
is 40 gigabytes)

Your choice is to pay the charges for the above mentioned bandwith usage --
which would be $8631.42, or close your account

You have 48 hours to respond to this email or you account will be closed


Regards"

Reread it. They want to charge him $8631.42 for using 1438.57 gigabytes. He is allowed 40 gigs.
