Funny story: between 2007 and 2008 O2 Czech Republic offered a new ADSL plan called Internet ADSL Start. On contrary to other plans this one didn't have a data limit but instead was charged per number of minutes on-line. Marketing department probably wanted to reuse old billing systems from the era of dial-up.
yeah, KPN did this in NL at around the same time. I know of one case where someone only noticed after their bank account had been drained of all its cash as a result of background windows chatter traffic. Fortunately, the service was discontinued in short order after KPN realised what a completely bone-headed idea it was. Nick
