Man, that's about what I do in a WEEK! Good thing I'm not paying for my service! Actually, I pay for it, but in other ways...

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Ouch! :eek: Good thing my ISP doesn't limit bandwidth usage. If you use your computer as an FTP server or to host a web site or you just download stuff of Kazaa like mad, then you'll use that much bandwidth. Hmm, I wonder where he stores those 200GB of MP3s and DIVX files... :lol:

blimmin' hell lad, how many librarys did you download ???

There are no stupid questions... just lots of inquisitive idiots...

Reply to marneus

Well, it's disturbing, but the cost of bandwidth keeps going up and it seems like it won't peak until prices are at least double what they are now. Soon we'll pay $60/month at least for broadband and web sites... gosh, I don't know what they're going to do, advertisements pay almost nothing. Maybe they will charge? That'll be the end of free internet, and the beginning of harsh commercialism. I never want to see an internet that becomes like what TV is today, where everything is advertised and things cost a fortune, and your every web site view is logged and turned into a demographic.

There is already too much advertising on the net, every stupid place I go to got something popping up or something. I don't go to yahoo anymore because they managed to annoy the sh1t out of me with the x camera crap or the latest the moving image which makes you wait till it goes into it's place before you can start searching (don't waste my time with that sh1t). There is places where you get extra bookmarks pointing to them or to another company when you pass through their sites. They do log who comes and what they do, they do collect info on you like it or not, legal or not. It's just the way it goes.

They're like those no life people who come to your house on weekends and ask if you want to talk about god, change religion, or whatever.
Or the people keep calling you just as you strech out to have a nap after a hard day asking if you want to donate money, clothes, whatever.
Or call saturday at 7am if you want to have a daily paper delivered to your house, they call almost every month like they're too dumb to put it in the computer that you said no because you don't speak the language the paper printed in.
The companies who flood your fax machine with friggin advertisings of stupid things you don't need and when the fax goes through they sell your number to others, just like the losers with e-mail spam.

They just annoy the sh1t out of you and can't do much about it. Unless you dial 357 and then you end up getting screwed again because there is a law about killing but there is nothing much about taking care of them so they leave you alone.

At least I give an ear full to the people who come to my door or call my house with crap, not like it change anything, but sure it makes me feel good for a couple of minutes.

That's not your bill is it? There's no way I would pay that. Hell, I downloaded 2 gigs today on campus.

No it's not mine, found it on-line. I would jump out the window if that would be mine LOL I hate limited access ISP's, that's why not getting cable (here it's limited and would use it up in a day or two and there is only one cable provider).

I'm just curious, but it sounds like it's almost impossible get to some kind broadband connection in the US without a cap on the traffic. Is that really the norm?

I'm in Montreal Canada and I guess because we got only one cable provider they try to make more money out of the people. When there is no real competition then they can screw with the customers the way they want. The only real competition for them is Bell unlimited ADSL like mine and a few other DSL providers, so we are pretty screwed. Slow speed but unlimited, or decent speed but way too limited (1 gig up and 5 gig down a month, 2$/100Mb after), the price is almost the same.


I know there is a cable modem brand/model(?) they're unable to monitor and those people do whatever they want. I would switch to cable if I could buy one of those. I like to screw not just getting screwed. ;)
