Maybe you shouldn't have downloaded so much in the first place?

When i ran the command, it started listing ports and the results of listening, established, and time_wait. I have to admit, I don't even know what a switchport is. i'd appreciate a little more information about what to do with this.
And yea, I shouldn't have exceeded the limit, but c'mon, 10 gigs, in 2 months?? that seems a little on the low side, and a 6 month reduction to 56k seems a bit excessive for breaking it. I tried convincing them, but no dice, even though one of my friends used to work for that depmt. Apparently the powers that be, have no love...
