So a few times in the last six months I've gone over cap and had to pay extra for internet. The account is in my wife's name and she recieves an email to let her know I'm some number of blocks over
"Oh well" I think, "I must have watched and downloaded a lot of crap this month." So this month I managed to exceed my limit in a just over a week! This prompted me to ask my wife for the latest bill.
What?! We part almost a hundred dollars a month for our land line and 20gb of data?! 20gb is nothing! And the crazy thing is, I remember almost a year ago going online and upping my plan because 20gb was never going to be sufficient for a gamer like me.
So surely I've been drastically over paying my internet! How on earth did I manage to sign up for something so horribly priced? And how do I get through the rest of the month without spending a good sum on extra data on to of my pathetic plan?!
And on this note, I remember one of the reasons we signed up with Telstra clear to begin with was they told me about how they had a steam mirror which was unmetered to download from and unmetered game servers (I was really into bf3 at the time). Although they say in their faq that it's not guaranteed that any download is from their stream mirror, it has never ever downloaded anything that hasn't counted against my bandwidth usage.
I feel shafted.
