Yes, that's not unheard of - in Calgary here if people are using up gobs of bandwidth they'll get a phone call. I've only heard of people getting the boot if they're running HPTT/FTP servers, which is a violation of the TOS. I pay an extra $10 a month for an "Extreme" package which gives me me faster upstream, downstream, and no bandwidth cap. I need it. ;-)
