A couple summers back, I left a GPS in my window in Vancouver and my van was broken into and I was robbed mercilessly.
Recently I got a new wireless router and forgot to set up the security password. Today I found out that I was charged $574.55 for going over my internet usage last month. Almost 3x over. I personally downloaded about 10 songs from iTunes. That's it.
Costly lessons to learn.
Damn.

Wow. You have some merciless Internet bandits in your area. Thanks for the reminder of why passwords are important.
Uggggghhhhhh...
Ouch! Is there any way you can fight that?
Ouch! Any way they can trace the IP?
Hope you've picked a strong password now.
Dough! As Homer would say. Sorry John!
Jocelyne: It looks like my work here is done :(
Megan: Indeed.
Barbara: The good news is they agreed to cut the bill in half for me. I can't really fight it when really, it was my fault for not being protected.
Allison: Nope.
Teddy: I believe the correct spelling is D'oh. But then, perhaps dough is more appropriate. As in, I just lost a lot of dough.
I admit, I am a poor speller. LOL!
At least you were able to get the bill cut in half.
Note: please don't pick "password" as your new password. ;)
That sucks! You are with the wrong provider as mine doesn't charge me for going over my limit. But I never do and I do a TON of downloading - that's some serious downloading going on!
