Very interesting thanks. It is useful to see things laid out so
clearly too.
However the base package will allow a maximum of 300MB download
during the 5 hour peak time window 4pm to 9pm. This is not very useful
for a CD iso download when the mood takes you. The base and middle
packages both restrict down to a 1MB line when triggered.
