FiOS customer discovers the limits of �unlimited� data: 77TB a month
Average 50TB a month�30,000 percent higher than average�and Verizon will
call.

[[Yes, Virginia, there is a limit to what Verizon will let you do with
FiOS' "unlimited" data plan. And a California man discovered that limit
when he got a phone call from a Verizon representative wanting to know
what, exactly, he was doing to create more than 50 terabytes of traffic
on average per month�hitting a peak of 77TB in March alone.

"I have never heard of this happening to anyone," the 27-year-old
Californian�who uses the screen name houkouonchi and would prefer not to
be identified by name�wrote in a post on DSLreports.com entitled "LOL VZ
called me about my bandwidth usage Gotta go Biz." "But I probably use
more bandwidth than any FiOS customer in California, so I am not super
surprised about this."

Somehow, I'm not feeling his pain. If this isn't a commercial use, it
sure seems like it to me, in which case he should have a commercial
connection and be paying commercial rates.
