Okay so the title about sums it all up.

I’ve never in all my years of using internet heard of “Fair Access Policy”. This means that even though I pay close to $100 per month for internet I can still only download/upload a total of 425mb per day. When you reach this total they slow your internet speed down to dial-up speeds. So for the next 24 hours you are limited to surfing (or whatever it is you do on the internet) at a snails pace.

When you’re a blogger or a scrapbooker this really stinks. Even though I resize my photos for uploading to the internet I very often go over my threshold.

Yesterday I went to my internet provider site and checked to see how much it would cost me in penalties to break my contract with them. I was seriously considering paying this fee if it was only a few hundred dollars. No such luck. Try more than double that.

So I’m stuck. Another year of frustration. Of course I could always force myself to be up between the hours of 3am and 6am when you don’t have to abide by these policies. You can do unlimited downloads/uploads between these hours.

Hey, I’m a night shift worker. I can handle that.
