We've exceeded that a couple times in the       past 7 years we've had this        dish and they snap it off DEEP in that ass without warning. They drop the       speed down to an absolute crawl, I mean just sending a basic email will       timeout 10 times before going thru and thats with no attachments, just simple       text. They maintain that        penalty for 3-5 days.              I rarely view web video's unless it is something especially enticing, and       short.              Oh yeah, we pay $80/mth for this shitty satellite.       It's either that or true dial up and I don't think I could stand that for 1       second, I mean, whats the point? But maybe I'm wrong, I havent been on dial up       since about 1998 or so.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
