Outta Quota

It is really frustrating when some wireless broadband service that you're using turned your back against you. And in the end i have to end up in the College resource centre a.k.a library so that i can blog and manage my sosial websites. Hmm... let's see, from what i remember the broadband service provided the following terms :






  1. Fair Internet speed up to 512 kbps. (which is kinda good for me as a student who doens't have any special need such as watching porn, video streaming, gaming, and yada-yada stuffs that you can do on the net that requires superb internet speed)
  2. Data Quota up to 1 GB. (Well... I wonder how much is that since i have no understanding on how do we use the data up... But it sounds really awesome cause from what i've learn from physics Gigabyte = 10-to-the-power-of-9 bytes.)
  3. Reduction of 50% internet speed in case of over-quota usage (ever wonder why i highlighted the 50 % part?? You'll soon know. =3 )

Sounds pretty good right?? Well i could only say that things promised when people sell you stuffs/service are totally different from what they first promise. This is what they call MARKETING STRATEGY. Ya, you heard it and i'll say it again. MARKETING STRATEGY.

So the story starts when i first use my broadband and naturally it's kinda OKAY. Then upon entering the third month of the usage of that particular broadband service i found out that my quota had been used up at the early start of the month. ( DX, i never know why i used it up so fast, maybe is it because i indulged in onlining during the Holiday??) And so, i continued to used it, but the worst nightmare awaits as it lurks around the corner....

And there it goes, SUPER "AWESOME" internet speed. I can't even open my facebook account??? It's like the greatest torment ever existed for indoor geeks who lived to face the computer 24/7 and only reads from Face-books. And worse more, the speed sucks to the extent that no website can be opened?? What happened?? What i see is that :

  1. Fair internet speed ...................for short limit of time (Wait wait wait.... is it even 384 kbps??)
  2. Unknown amount of data quota.....  i think it's less that 1 GB 
  3. Deadly slow internet speed in case you accidentally used up all the datas...

Tell me what happened?? Indeed truly an eye opener.



*gasp*
