   Since I'm stuck in a twilight zone of sorts, not broadband - not dialup, but   
   Hughes satellite, I have to always be vigilant of content as we have a   
   250mb/day speedbump to maintain. 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.
