    Hi ,
    Is it possible to charge a customer by the amount of data downloaded instead of the time he is online?

    How do I do it?
    I dun think Extra Bandwidth Usage and DiskSpace Usage fits the bill.

    How would that differ from the customer's bandwidth?

    In your excessive usage product for bandwidth, you can set the bandwidth allowed to 100MB.

    what server events should I set up to update the users time or bandwidth once they have bought the extra time and bandwidth?

    I dun think they have a billing cycle. Users only buy time or bandwidth when they run out of them.

    Are the customer's purchasing the extra bandwidth through the web interface?

    I would set it up as a billing cycle product event tied to whatever product(s) they are purchasing in that case.
