Pfft, man...if I got charged 2 dollars a gig, I'd be in a shelter again.

If I got charged 2 quid a gb I'd... not have the internet.

please forgive the shameless +1 kind Sir, but I absolutely have to go all Total Recall for just a moment in the interest & sake of my sanity (such as it is)

::ahem::

QUIIIIIID!!!

QUAID. The name of the guy is QUAID. You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong!

Great Scot Biff!! You're correct!:$

I Shall now proceed to make like a tree and get outta here.

CRTC proposed a bill to meter the internet.
Harsh Caps.
I run Internet TV and a 25mb/s fibre line. I wouldn't be too happy neither would my parents, 25GB per month then 2.00 per 1GB over.
Most if not all my games are digital on Steam or GFWL Marketplace :/
Not to mention out TV.
