There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got
your hand or head stuck in something

Yay Techz is finally on the internet! Now all you need is a few petabytes to download the internet to!
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

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....

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.
