Well, I think you are safe usage wise. The 160gb is probably because someones been downloading movies.

UO Uses very very little bandwith. If you used 50 megs in a month on UOSA with 3 accounts running full time I'd be surprised.

I just had to reply because this thread reached out to me mathmatically. Did I hear you are on dialup? I'm sorry.

For the stats of just you alone the maximum throughput possible is under the following conditions:

1. You have a 56k dial up modem that gets max about 6k a second on real data packets.
2. You stay connected to the internet 24 hours a day, 30 days a month.

6k per sec * 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 30 days / 1024k per MB = 15187.5 MB

15187.5 MB / 1024MB per GB = 14.8 GB

The most you could possibly send/receive in a monthly period is around 14.8GB. Again, this is on a very good month with a constant dialup connection (which is near impossible) at maximum dial up throughput rates (ya, right). This is just to put you in perspective so you are sure that "most" of the 160GB could not have been you, period.
