Newbie question about ISP download limits

[neodante66]

So I have a download limit with Verizon of 5 GB per month.
Is their anyway to bypass this. I also have media com at home so I could
do everything there and have no limit but its more convenient on my laptop
at work. In the past media com sent me letters when doing torrent files and so
even though my content is hidden my download amount isn't and now I'm paranoid.

I use usenetserver as provider
and sabnzbd as the client
and nzbmatrix as the compiler/search

Probably a newbie question but thanks.

5GB download per month? On a fixed line? Seriously?

Options:
- buy a bigger 'plan' from your ISP
- switch ISP
- borrow bandwidth from your neighbour

I use the same providers you do, and never get notices. They can't tell what newsgroup content is like they can w/ torrents. Use your home line.

I actually have all my set up on a dedicated headless server that's also my router, firewall, plex server, proxy server, etc.

I'm at 300+GB for the month currently. I did swap to a Home Biz account b/c that opend up ports, gave me a static IP, and removed any caps that Cox has. But the same TOS applies.

Hmmm ... neodante66 did not reply ... time to put him in my 'foe' list. My new policy.
