Lesson #1: read the f*king fineprint. If you don't understand the fineprint, get someone to help you understand it
Lesson #2: get a qualification of 'unlimited' BEFORE testing those limits -- I know,
look up a dictionary for the definition of the word, but it's THEIR network,
and they can as loosely or as tightly define it as they want.
Lesson #3: when in the middle of nowhere in Alberta, get a hobby, preferably a cheap one
I read more on this story in my local paper, and the software itself warns of a per
kilobyte charge when using it. Having been in the tech field for so long, I've
learned that 'I don't know' is a legitimate answer; 'I don't want to know' is not.
.. he should count himself lucky the telco was generous enough to knock down the price.
