Reduced the speed to 64 kbps (made possible with Juniper ERX and its
provisioning system). Thus the customer would not be blocked, but it
would be quite noticeable that the cap had been reached.
During the period when the 1 Gbyte cap was in effect, the customers
could increase the cap - for a fee (I don't remember how much).
