Backdated to Friday, when I was feeling pissed off

Dude. Now I know exactly what is wrong with my dad’s internet account.

NB. Your free account is only for study purposes and therefore has limited access (sorry, no net banking or chat groups).

Which means a few things:
-The download limit is ridiculously small
-The internet hours are ridiculously short
-The internet connection is ridiculously crap
-The conditions are ridiculously fancy
-The University of Queensland is ridiculously greedy
-The said university is ridiculously stingy about their bandwidth
-I can no longer access the internet from home, because our D/L quota has expired, due to excess downloads of images (I blame my economics assignment, which requires a ridiculously large amount of graphs being loaded)
-I now know why I can’t get on AIM or ICQ or WinMX.
-I want broadband internet!!11!

And my dad just came and took a look at the page, and has refuted my suggestion that we acquire broadband internet- because really, that amount of d/ls at that price is not a bad deal.

So I am going to sit here, do my assignment, and sulk.

I gave up on the aforementioned internet service 2 years ago. Not only were they going on 33.6kbps then, they also had 3 hours time limit! And not to mention limited number of phone numbers for connection.

*gnashes teeth*

Spend a little more for dodo internet and at least you get a decent customer service to yell at when the service goes down.

Well, the connection speeds have been upped, as have the time limit. Which is good. And they just recently upped the D/L limit too (from 56mb to 80mb), but it's still not enough. Worst thing is that no AIM makes RPing hell. :(

Dad wouldn't change from the Uni service because he can get it for free, even if he's not a student.
