sigh, another stupid leechchild that aint prepared to pay for its leeching.

I can get unlimited downloads for about what I was paying for
dialup unlimited downloads. The only real downside with the
current broadband offerings is that unlimited downloads have
to be scheduled so they dont happen in peak time. Fine by me,
tho it would obviously be a bit better if I didnt have to schedule.

I get a real permanent line with much better speeds than
are possible with dialup, for about the same cost as dialup.

I dont plan to pay for your activitys any time soon and I'm
not stupid enough to move to pomland or yankeeland or
canuckland and have to put up with the shit thats inevitable in
any of those places, just to get completely unlimited broadband.
