My internet speed has been throttled until the end of the month! Every internet plan here has a monthly data usage limit and we've exceeded ours... When we signed up, I knew this would be a problem so I spent the big bucks ($80/month) for 15 GB of data/month. Our first month ends in two days, and we just crossed the limit. There are no additional fees, we're just stuck at 128kbps until Thursday.
It's good to see that we almost made it, 15 GB is definitely the right order of magnitude (my other options were 2 GB for $60/month or 30 GB for $120/month). And I think we used more data this month than we will in the average month thanks to setting up my new computer, WoW patch 2.4, and catching up on past Meet the Press episodes that aired while I was internetless.
So how bad is 128kbps? When I refresh Google, I actually see the Google image load... ouch.
I do not envy that...
does this mean no online gaming for you. I won't type anymore b/c I don't want you to have to wait for my words to load.
