Absolute bandwidth corrupts
I went back over my bandwidth usage logs to determine how much I’ve used on average. I realized early off that the overage fee, while being assigned per gigabyte over the 5GB/month limit, wasn’t actually charge to my bill until I had used a full gigabyte. This essentially made my limit 5.99GB per month. Despite my best attempt to hit as close to that as possible, I only managed to average 5.09GB/month. Over the first full week I’ve had clearwire (and no bandwidth limit) I’ve transferred more than I was able to in the past seven months. 35.63GB from March to September while I’ve transferred 39.19GB from October 27th to November 4th. And GCI wonders why they’re hemorrhaging customers, and now employees, at an alarming rate. The ISP landscape in my state is in for a serious shake-up or else there might be a couple fewer ISPs around this time next year.
… I’m also thoroughly enjoying season 1 of Robot Chicken.
