Stupid .Mac bandwidth limits

Somewhere, someone pointed to some very nicely-done political posters, at

http://homepage.mac.com/leperous/PhotoAlbum1.html

Unforttunately, Apple's inflexible policy about bandwidth has caused the site to become unavailable this evening. You'd think that spikes would be permitted as long as the volume doesn't stay high for several days.

I used to work for Apple, so I had a free mac.com account and I have been trying to decide whether to sign up for their .mac services. This bandwidth thing is one huge flag pointing me in the "I don't think so" direction.

One other is the stupidly long URLs that they force on you, and the even longer ones that whatever software they're using (webobjects?) generates.
