I have cancelled my account with total.net
I wrote to cancel@total.net stating why...

REASONS FOR CANCELLATION:

1) The closure of my web site due to "excess traffic"
2) My site was closed Nov. 5th - 3 days after billing - meaning no site for a month
3) Within a few days of each other I received two warnings & a suspension notice.
4) 50mb limit is unacceptable  
5) I was told I had to pay corporate rates for my -personal, free & non-profit site
6) I requested the stats re: my site - i.e proof, but received no reply - just automated
   messages asking me to contact corporate sales - who never returned my voice
   message.

This is the message I recieved in response...
