OH GHOST WHO WALKS: WHAT ABOUT aLL THE LITTLE PEOPLE YOU LIVE WITH IN THE FOREST
i THOUGHT ALL YOUR MESSAGES WERE SENT BY DRUM.:rofl::thumbsup:
 
You're a cruel, cruel man GDAD. :lofl:

How much data allowance do you get Phants? I used to get by on 2 gigs a month! That was at dial-up speed though. Now I'm on ADSL at 'warp speed' I still only use around 5 gigs a month tops out of an allowance of 50.

I do sympathise though, especially if you're with Optus. :(
 
When cell phones came out 100 yrs ago, I got an affordable one with only 100 minutes. I talked too much and ended up with an outlandish bill one month and that's all it took. Going forward, I had minutes to spare, but what stress it was trying to rush every conversation. Renewal time I bit the bullet and added more minutes.
 
Yep, there are certain providers who allow only so much data in a given amount of time. So much for the wonderful world of connectivity...
 
I live in the boonies and in order to get decent speed I have to go to satellite service and I pay through the nose for it, they have different plans with different amounts of data, I nearly always run out about a week before my allotted time is up....of course they want me to move up in plans.....:rolleyes:
 
No offense meant to anyone, but why do you acess the internet on your phone only? I have cable internet, have a smart phone, Ipad, and also laptop. No way in the world would I access the internet with just my phone. I remember back in the day, with dial up and people had to pay by the hour. It is 2013, and best to use a computer.:)
 
I get 12 GB per month for $30.00 they are usually plans similar to that, or you can get a plan that includes your landine phone also, i have included a list of plans from one company to give you an idea, hope you can read it. Might have to enlarge your font

 
Jill, I get 7Mbps cable service with unlimited bandwidth for $35USD/mn - you guys are a bit expensive, no?

Of course, I'm in a heavily-populated area of the East coast - you might be out in the country a bit more ...
 
Most things are a rip-off here one way or other. We don't have the infrastructure you have, close but not quite, nor the reasonably even scattering of higher density populations. It's improving, and prices are coming down a bit but we pay more for most things than you do in the States. CD prices are scandalous here and then they get the irrits that people pirate them. The retailers are the real pirates.

I had Phantom's Optus problems until I finally called it quits and went for a bundled option. $70 p/month for 50Gb internet data and phone rental and most calls, that works out a lot cheaper than the 1 lousy Gig for $30 plus 10 bucks a gig for extra data, and no phone, that Optus were charging for. It's an ADSL connection that comes in on the phone line but isn't dial up. It's plenty fast enough for my needs, far better than the Wireless Broadband Optus had which fell to zero Mb/s speed when the kids came out of school because it shared the cell phone towers with them and couldn't cope with the load.
 
Heh ... I had wireless a while back and the same thing happened to me - school let out, the kids got on their computers and my speed dropped to almost zero. Weekends were murder as well. Give me a good ol' fashioned hardwire install every time, and no more of those phone-line monstrosities either - pure, sweet, unadulterated cable.

Man, I'm spoiled ...
