Usage Cap?

I have plusnet value with 60GB usage, and was told I would be charged if I go over this amount.
I was wondering, is there a way I could cap it so that if I reach 60GB, my internet cuts off, or something similar?
Thanks

Hi CuBz,
Just for the clarification of other readers it's the Extra account type that you have with the 60gb peak time bandwidth allocation.
Yes, there is a data transfer cap that we can set for you, this basically slows the speed of the connection down to 128kbps when the 60gb limit is hit. Don't for get your usage is free during the off-peak hours of midnight and 8AM.
