I purchased cod4 on steam but have moved flats and cant download the game at my new place due to net restrictions.

Can anyone in CHCH make a backup for me? (is this allowed?)

Thanks for reading, any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: Crap! the game has downloaded in the background! I didn't realise. My internet bill is going to bankrupt me :(
Anyone know what some cable company might charge for going 9 gig over a 1 gig plan?

Yeah im with Telstra. My new flatmate uses his net just for emails etc so never needed anymore.
Hopefully I can talk them into changing us to a 10 gig plan and not charging me the higher rate for additional bandwidth. Seems fair.

See ya'll online if this Punkbuster setup ever finishes.

well judging by their website prices, an extra 9GB will cost $106 :eek:

Good news is that I can change plans before I get billed for the additional bandwidth :rnr:

Are you sure Ultra?

I'm with Optus.. but a plan change with them won't take affect untill the next billing month, plus they hit you for the extra bandwidth used on tha next bill.

Might be worth a phonecall to Telstra to double check, that is if you can stand negotiating the automated answering service.

Pretty sure, I called and had it confirmed. However, I'm not the bill payer so couldn't make the change.
Hopefully he wasn't just trying to get me off the line.

Im on Telstra 10 gig plan and if we go over its only $2.95 a gig. Could be different for 1 gig plan though.
