| 1260037 | 2012-02-20 06:18:00 | Turns out Mr Fry (whom I otherwise enjoy watching on TV) was being a doofus and didn't realise/remember he'd signed up to a plan that gets automatically throttled when he reached his cap!! | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1260038 | 2012-02-20 06:34:00 | Given that there are places in the world where Joe Average doesn't hit a cap until he's gone through 1TB in a month, we do look like the poor cousins from the woods when we get capped anywhere from 0.5 to 4% of that volume of data. | Paul.Cov (425) | ||

I don't disagree - but for someone who professes to be a "gadget-loving geek", perhaps he should have looked a little more closely into the possible causes of his internet slow-down before shooting his mouth off and making himself look a little silly??? By all mean let him complain about the low caps far and wide - I certainly don't disagree there!!! |

He wasn't the account holder, and given that he's not from a country with low caps, it probably didn't occur to him. |

| 1260044 | 2012-02-20 07:21:00 | He wasn't the account holder, and given that he's not from a country with low caps, it probably didn't occur to him. The logic still stands - if he's a geek, look for/ask why it's broken before mouthing off. |
