Scancom FUP

Has anyone hit the scancom FUP on three?
If yes, what happens when you do? is it a hard cut off? naughty boy email?
I don't usually do anywhere near it, but I am thinking of getting a second SIM to put into a router at my parents house that will rsync backup my NAS so in theory it might be possible if I lost all the pre-seeded data that I hit that limit. So i'm wondering if I restrict it / work out a way around it or just go for it.
I don't want to get in Scamcom's naught list.
 
I'm pretty sure someone said they got cut off till renewal date, not sure about email sent etc as didn't say.
@dabigm
You get a text at 80% of your data limit, then another telling you you have used 100% of your data and your data party is over until renewal day which is usually the 7th/8th of the month. :)

One work around could be to throttle the rsync transfer using "--bwlimit", or similar, such that the limit is exhausted exactly on 30 days, assuming continuous transfer across 30 days.
 
yeah thats what i thought to do too @mikeliuk
i actually got a reply from scancom today

Hello - the fair usage policy on this sim is 850GB per month - once the sim reaches 1000GB the data will stop until automatic renewal on the next month

I think 1TB will be way more than I need, but should I get close to it I can either manually stop the rsync or limit it.

Cheers guys, at least we know for sure now.
