It's not like they saying they are GOING to charge you, they say, we reserve the right to charge you.
That's like those signs on some shops etc, we reserve the right to let you in or not.
But I wish I knew what a person could use "locally" before they start charging you.
I'm sure if I was to use, say, 40GB local, they wouldn't charge me, but if I use, say 100GB, they will.
Get what I'm saying?
The whole thing is the "we reserve the right" part that interests me.

I've logged a dispute etc... heard nothing from them.
A friend of mine who has used 100GB says they probably won't charge me or him, but from this month they probably will.
I've used 25GB local on my 3GB account... scared to 'push' it a bit

Poor memory-usage characteristics are the bane of software applications. While an application runs on a computer or computing device, it uses a portion of the computer's physical memory. Physical memory is limited. Virtual memory is a conventional scheme employed in a computing environment whereby a computer's hard drive is made to appear to an application as available memory. When physical memory is exhausted, a memory manager swaps memory pages out of physical memory to the hard drive, and brings them back when they are needed again, potentially swapping other pages out in their stead. The event of fetching a missing page from disk is called a page fault. Data retrieval time from the hard drive is typically orders of magnitude greater than retrieval time from RAM (physical memory--random access memory). Accordingly, page swaps degrade an application's performance, especially when the application requires a large amount of memory, which must be synthetically created vis-a-vis page swaps.

^^this dude (or spambot as the case may be) totally used "vis-a-vis" in a post!!
That is **SO** David Brent!
My day is made
Back on topic: your argument has reached the level of being a semantic one - personally I agree with what you're saying, lots of folks do but the fact remains that it is a **pay** service you are using you cant take it personally that you will be charged for it.
The case as you have laid it out is probably correct: moderate use may be overlooked while using hundreds of gb will most likely be charged so they are actually giving people a break as in not charging everyone, only the seriously heavy users.
How is this a sh1tty move on their part, apart from the fact that you personally are a seriously heavy user and will most likely be charged?
If anything it shows that essentially they are thinking they same way you are "vis-a-vis" (OMG I ROCK!!) charging for local.
Now please ...please stop putting me in the situation where I end up defending Telskum!
I must go scrub myself in the shower with a nailbrush now.
