Hi Marty.

There has always been an "unlimited" option, and will continue to be. 
Possibly the wording isn't clear in the current release, so I've tweaked 
it a little to hopefully make it clear.

Basically, if there is no limit set, then it will be unlimited. (Note: 
with the new groups, if you set a limit on the group, but none when you 
create the user, then it will have the group limit, not unlimited).

What you may want to do with the new recurring limits is setup the group 
you use for the rooms, with a daily limit of say 200Mb, which will limit 
them to 200Mb per day. Also, changing the password is good, because each 
time you modify the user the expiry is update. So you may set the group 
expiry to 1 week, (assuming you don't normally have people staying 
longer than a week), so if you forget to change the password for a whole 
week, or you don't rent that room for a week, then that account will be 
locked until you next change the password, when it's expiry will be set 
to 1 week from when you changed the password.

I hope that explains it better.

Odd that they all use there 3G modems. Do you charge for internet? A few 
years ago I worked on the road living in motels along the eastern coast 
of Australia, we tried everything we could to get WiFi instead of having 
to use our 3G because 3G cost so much. We'd even pick a slightly more 
expensive motel over the cheaper one if it had free WiFi!
