I have been nagging them for a data usage report for almost 2 months now (requested it 8 times). Finally they send me something after threatening them with legal action. Guess what? I get friggen log of all my HTTP accesses, yes, every single URL that was hit for a month. Well, it might not be so bad I thought, then I looked for other 'columns', nope, none, just datetime and url. USELESS!!! So I try resize the columns. Sorry SIR, you cannot do this, the friggen spreadsheet is 'Protected' with a password. At least copy/paste worked, but I am still none the wiser about my data usage as requested... :doh:

If they give you the correct figures then it'll be too easy for you add up the numbers and realise they've been overcharging you. See, it makes perfect business sense.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

I think you have to die as a result of your own stupidity to be eligible - now if you manage to sue them to death - I think that would qualify :)
nope - must be done by them self. So if they would have drown in the paper while printing out every HTTP-Request - that would have been a qualifier.
