Jeez. You think that's bad. I pay $90 a month for my 34,000/1100 cable connection with only 25GB data transfer (uploads counted)

In australia, we have the faster speeds than the americans, but we have cumbersome download limits.

25GB thats just wrong. You could eat through that in no time. What is the overage charge?

ISP's are going to start to do that here, with monthly limits, and its not going to fly. Companies are going to start suing ISP's if they put in monthly limits here, it will just kill so many of there products. The FCC needs to say "no way" to monthly bandwidth limits.

Thats F#@&ed up. Bandwidth is so cheap now. But I guess down under its hard to get it, since it doesn't seem very many bandwidth providers go down that far.

They have had them for a little while now. as far as I know AT&T is the only one that doesn't have a cap now.

I wish. Americans. You mean city slickers. Not us country folk. We are still getting the shaft.  :haha: :haha:

I am sure way higher than $1 per GB. That would not bother ime in the least if thats all it was. But according to the partioa plan its
Quote
This plan includes
Additional data usage is $.001/KB (Maximum monthly charge $99.99 on the 40MB plan)
Data usage without a plan is 3¢/KB. International Data roaming may include additional charges.

Now I am really confused. I just called and they said I am still unlimited. Maybe newbies are capped.  evil6

Well guess I'd better hurry up and do what I'm gonna do then.  grin

And when cricket brings data cards to my area in August they are gonna be unlimited also. So guess we will see how it pans out. Or maybe that was certain areas. Who knows.
