Techz Had Adsl! Happy Xmas

[TechZ]

Yes it finally works! My first ADSL post, now got to get downloading and meet up at WD Chat.

[gazzak]

and about time too! Merry ADSL Christmas to you too mate.

[NooNoo]

Yay Techz is finally on the internet! Now all you need is a few petabytes to download the internet to!

[TechZ]

So xcited I even made a tense error is the thread name. I've got so many new driver updates, av updates, new demos, trailers to download, I think 5gb is gonna be over within a day or too, thankfully, jan 2nd i can put them all at the Uni, saves me a load of b/w.

So xcited I even made a tense error is the thread name..

There must be a joke in here for the speiling & puncture-ation mod so mmm .. let me see ..

So is that like when you've got your hand stuck in a vice and you forgot that it was 'righty tighty & lefty loosey' ? - that'd at least be a tensioning error !?! (best I could do on short notice ! )

Methinks it should read .. 'I was so excited that I even stated the title in the wrong tense'

[confus-ed]

& for a 'not very congratulatory' wotpp .. yeah about time too - enjoy your crumby capped service

I hate to say it this late in the day, but didn't you have a choice or what - capped !?! - thats not 'useful' at all & just think you can't download all that stuff you keep telling us to get !

[TechZ]

I stand by my post #4 in this thread, I HATE GRAMMAR, and was a bit hungry and made a quick post

Choice, haha, thats funny, here were the choices:

BD25/- (US$66) per month: 256/64 : 5 gb cap
BD40/- (US$105) per month: 256/64 : No cap
BD50/- (US$132) per month: 512/128 : No cap

A bit too much right now for me, hopefully, its gonna get cheaper soon and maybe the new comptt will have better offers, at least something for now.

Congrats techz.......so are you keeping the dialup on standby for when you hit your max?

Also, if you hit 5GB, what happens? Do they shut you off or start charging more per MB?? Also, do they notify you when you've hit your limit???

Ouch, time to make sure your hosts file is working for you on this. Downloading ads that come with the page is using up your total. Is that 5gb up and down or just down?

if it's just down, at least you are not paying for every letter you type on the keyboard....

[TechZ]

I'm getting rid of dialup, but i can always buy a prepaid card in case of emergency. They charge me per mb over 5gb, then per 10mb its 80cents. It sounds more expensive here. I can check the remaining amount online.

[TechZ]

its complete (up+down) 5gb. i think

[NooNoo]

then check for anything phoning home, block the ads with hosts files and stop wotpping!

[TechZ]

whats the point of internet if i can wotpp. Well home use will just be for browsing net, @ Uni i can get all my downloads like demos, major updates, virus defs, et al.

Hey Mrs give up ! - Techz's my best recruit ! - He's quite right about the internet of course, I'm sure that's what its for too Techz .. all that downloading stuff is just selfish !

[Archer]

Yes he`ll need to reserve at least 80% of that just for posting
