supposedly, im supposed to have speeds up to 20Mbps, screw my providers. My grandparent finally upgrade from dial-up and now theyre paying a bit extra for a 2GB cap.

Admittedly, this only happened today :p (all of today -_-)

From what I hear Australia's internet is generally pretty bad in more ways than one.

The only reason I can think of for this is that you must've typed google into google, resulting in the death of the internet.

found the problem :D

since this is the first month, we paid a fraction, and got a fraction. So while it said we had used 1.2GB of 2GB, we had really used 1.2GB of 1.2GB, and got capped XD

My current apartment has a 25GB limit, I blew through that in 2 weeks :(

Then Rogers charges $1.50 PER GIG until the end of the month/billing period; up to a maximum of $50; then it shuts off your connection. Unbelievable!

lol, at my uni, you pay 1.5c/MB
UNLESS you have IT access, than you have unlimited free download, go figure

thats $15 PER GIG

btw, how much does that 25GB cap cost?
