I am too. Is the agreement to charge per mb downloaded? Do they not have some sort of "turn it off if I hit this max?* feature?

I usually avoid hosting solutions like this just because of this shit. I wanna know how much I'll owe before the month starts even. Anything else feels like gambling.

Of course they do but they can make 104k if they don't turn it on.

There are plenty of bandwidth restricted hosting sites out there. Sounds like that is what you want. Maximum speed regardless if that's used 24/7 or not. If more users request your site than that bandwidth allows - oh well.
