Use and Abuse

If you live out in the country and you're considering getting Bell's unlimited EVDO plan to replace your dial-up, well think again, Pedro. Unlimited apparently means limited to a very, very low number. No web pages with fancy stuff like "Flash movies" or "images" for you. They sent me a letter saying I was abusing their service and I had to switch to another plan. The only other plans were something like 30 megs for $60 per month or 60 megs for $100. Something like that. I was expecting them to offer me the plan they offered this guy, but I'm kind of glad they didn't because I probably would've taken it. High speed internet is kind of addictive. Poor Bell, I think they got in a little over their head with this thing. I wonder if they know that people use the net for more than just Archie and Veronica these days. Oh well, back to dial-up like a schmuck...
