About a week and a half ago, we found out that our internet service, which is through the satellite, has a cap on how much you can do online. Of course, we did not know that this cap existed so it took me a while to figure out why the speed was 128kb, or dial-up speed. The internet provider cuts the speed down to dial-up speed if you reach 80% of your cap. Once we figured out what was going on and I looked to see how close to the cap we were, it turned out to be 95%. Ooops.
How did we get so close to the cap? Well, it is safe to say that it was all me. I started to watch TV shows online and apparently within a few days, I went a little overboard. How do we get the speed back to normal? Well, we have to bring our 30-day usage down below 70%. So in about 10 days we have brought it down to just under 80%. We are still on the dial-up speed but I am hoping to be back to normal by the end of the week.
I thought back to when I last had dial-up speed and it was my undergraduate years about 10 years ago. I can’t wait to get back to the future.
When you get back “on line”
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!!!
