I'm a tv broadcast engineer thats trying to retire, honest I am. At
nearly 70 its time. So some of the anecdotal stories I tell come
from the tv station.
But I have a 10 meg limit in my mailbox at verizon, and had a 5 meg
limit at my previous ISP. That was in the TOS, but was never
enforced on me cause even if somebody sent me 20 megs of stuff, it
would be downloaded and dleted within the hour.
The only problem I've had with the 10 meg limit is that verizon has a
spam/viri killer that stores that crap in a diferent folder, but its
still charged aganst my 10 megs until I delete it. Problem was, I
knew nothing about it, never having used their webmail interface,
which, when I finally did figure out I had to go cleanout the spam
trap, turned out to be such a bowl of spagetti code they had to lead
me around by the hand to do it.
