Hi,

Afraid so, usually if you go outside of the fair usage policy they can
throttle your bandwidth effectively putting you in the 'naughty corner' for
about a week.

This seems standard practice with ISP with a fair usage policy but most
a fairly reasonable with the limit unless you're a heavy heavy user.
