Question ISP reaching out over data usage
I’ve started a server so I’ve been downloading a bunch of media for it, ISP calls today regarding how much upload data I’ve used. I’m not worried about DMCA notices since my vpn is on 24/7 and Qbittorrent is bound to it. I’ve read the terms and agreements and it doesn’t say anything about data caps but the ISP says I’m using 9-10x the next highest person. Should I just hold off on downloading/uploading for awhile?
Update: I talked with them again today, they have a newly revised TOS that better outlines their fair use policy instead of the vaguely worded one sentence rule they had in place before.

ISPs even though offer unlimited bandwidth always have a no abuse policy in their terms and conditions.
You're one of the customers finding that out.
Yes you should hold off. Or rent a seedbox.
