AFAIK that's not how it works!

The bandwidth limit is just that it limits a site to a specified bandwidth
say 64kb/sec of the total output say 100mb/sec. It will not allow you to say
after xxx mb/month cut them off.
It also only works per IP address so if you have vsites sharing an IP then
it does not help either.

I would advise asking for the extra money, and then if they refuse check the
suspend site box, this usually sees a payment arrive the same day!!

I have not found a reliable way of doing what you are after with Vsites
sharing an IP, although a cron job could be set up to monitor total vsite
usage and warn you of sites coming up to the limit.

Has anyone got such a script running?
