| 1345886 | 2013-06-15 10:52:00 | And this: "Just so you guys know, Internet access in NZ sucks. Like big time. Back when I was in the states in 2009, it cost like $40USD for cable modem...unlimited. Here in NZ, I am paying $100NZD (a little over $80USD) for 60GB. And wait till you hear about how full time grad students are only allowed like 3-5GB/ month. So yeah...consumers are looking for ANYTHiNG that would free us from this stranglehold the telecom monopolies colluding together have. Better sign off, gotta save my bandwidth for tomorrow, otherwise they will switch me over to 56k modem speed (not a joke). posted by hal_c_on at 1:06 AM on June 15" from here: www.metafilter.com |

| 1345888 | 2013-06-15 21:54:00 | I wouldn't worry at all... do an extra 2 hours paid work each week then you've got all you need. | Greg (193) | ||
