They aint limited in volume, stupid.

They aint limited in volume, stupid.

Who cares ?  There are plenty of competitors to
Telstra. You're always welcome to use one of those
if you want more than 300MB, for a lower cost too.

And what Telstra actually did was provide more choice,
so those who arent stupid leechchildren dont have to
subsidise stupid leechchildren and can get an adsl service
for about what they pay for dialup if they use the net much.

Great. Not interested in subsidising stupid leechchildren.
They or their parents are welcome to pay for their activitys.

I really believe that it costs the ISP significantly more to
provide the multiple GBs per month that some leech and
that those doing that leeching should pay for that cost so
those of us that arent mindless leechchildren can get a
very decent adsl service for a lower cost than would be
necessary if we are forced to subsidise stupid leechchildren.
