Hubby and I have blown our 10GB bandwith allowance on our broadband plan this month. They have cut us back to 56k *sobs* It's just soooooooo painfully slow! Life as we know it has ended! Well, until midnight tomorrow when it rolls over to a new month (phew).

The cool thing was they didn't do it right away, and we managed about an extra 2.5GB of downloads before they capped us. Normally that would have come off next month's allowance, so we kinda got it for free. Hurrah!

Sorry to hear that! But thank god it's only for one and a half days, right? *hugs* Much sympathies through this very difficult time. :D

Hee for extra downloading though.

Thank you for your comforting words. I'm sure I'll get over the trauma eventually (about the same time as my damn friends page loads...)

I miss broadband, I really do. I can't dl any of my fave shows anymore which means that I have to wait for them to start on regular telly. It's sooo unfair! *ahem* So sorry to hear about the cutback. But I'm sure you'll survive until tomorrow night. :)

I think I might die if I couldn't download Stargate. Seeing as they'll be starting Season 10 in May and we've not even had 8 on telly here. I have taken up knitting to keep myself distracted until tomorrow night. Thank goodness it's a good telly night tonight!

I just got broadband, and I'm worried about going over the limit like you wouldn't believe. I think they'll overlook right now, because they're trying to build a customer base (it's a wireless system, so the cost of equipment is prohibitive for many), but who knows how long that will last?

Look at it this way, at least you have some access, so the twitches won't be so bad. ;)

Our guys give you a usage meter that you can check to make sure you're not exceeding your limit. At least with our plan you just get your speed cut, instead of being charged for every extra mb. Still, 10GB is a bit pitiful.

As you said, at least I still have access. Or they'd be carting me away in a little rubber van *g*
