I'm hearing of ISP's putting a "cap" on the number of gigs per month downloaded and other plans.....which I don't like either. Just thought those of you on the east side of the water might want to read this and watch your backs.

That way the Gov't can say it isn't them spying on our internet activities! And it wont be the Gov't capping our usage as punishment. Mind you, it just shows how far we have come in a few years. that with-holding or restricting internet access is now seen as a punishment. But it seems this isn't actually happening much. My #1 son d/l'd a few movies before I caught him and no nasty warnings have come my way yet. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top
