Anyone use 1and1 hosting?

I build freesites and use 1and1 for hosting and have not had any problems with them, other than not being able to get POP3/SMTP to work, they have excellent Webmail though, I just use that. Hey for 9.99/mo what can I expect?

Anyway they give you this ridiculously high bandwidth limit, I believe they just upped it to 2.5TB. I did some searching and found cases where blogs getting hit by fark.com or whatever got kicked off the shared server for using 40% CPU. I use all static pages so I know I can't be monopolizing the server. They are a big operation so I was thinking someone might have some experience with hosting high-ish (for shared hosting, I'm talking maybe 10k uniques/day) traffic sites on a shared account.

BTW I wasn't born yesterday and know that a 2.5TB limit is bullshit and there is no way I would get away with pushing that much traffic for 9.99/mo. The last time I was doing this thing back in '03 or '04 I paid like 19.99/mo for 20GB of transfer and thought that was a good deal.
