I wondered about that, someone said 100, then someone said 200 and since I’ve seen more people say 200, so thanks Justin.

Bummer is that they say it’s for several days only?!

PS. It’s a 200GB account not 100GB.

Quite simply, I use Route Sentry to split my bandwidth – In essenence you setup a PPPoE connection and then dialup to the Internet via ADSL using a local account and an International account and the program decides whether incoming packets of data are local or International and splits them onto either account accordingly..

Hope that helps!

This is great. But as I do a lot of my work Internationally. All my websites are hosted in Texas USA, my email accounts are Internationally hosted. I wonder if I can benefit from this.

If I can find a local open Proxy, then this will work like a charm. I guess for those who only work with locally hosted sites. This is a God sent.

But remember, a lot of sites have external international lookups, like ads, widgets, etc, and then this will hamper your browsing as these sites will wait for a time-out from the international lookups.

Some sites might not be browsable at all,depending on their level of reliance on international lookups

I suppose one thing is to find some good locally hosted download sites, and started downloading software (Freeware and shareware, not pirate)
