They'll happily let you upgrade to a higher-priced tariff right away if you chose the wrong one, but you'd have to wait a while to downgrade. There would always be expenses in choosing the wrong tariffs, but I reckon they'd work out to be less by choosing a too-low tariff than a too-high one. -zoara- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm
