I know, and feel your pain.  :(  They really need a "hobbiest" level of 
service.  I want a static IP and decent up/down bandwidth at a decent 
price.  I'd tolerate a reasonable weekly or monthly transfer cap, as I 
really am just a hobbiest and not a business trying to get by cheap. 
 (I'd put something in place myself anyway, to guard against an 
accidental slashdotting or something.)  But they won't do it.
