However, I remember when I first started using the internet as a little boy, the concepts of emoticons were completely foreign to me. I had to ask someone what "lol" or "
$200 seems very cheap! That's less than $10 a month. (Compared to the $40+ that most ISPs charge. I wonder if that fee is just for basic access or it's what the average user actually paid? I remember back in those days, most ISPs would charge per an hour. So you'd be paying like $10 or so a month but you'd only get a few free hours, once you went over that you were screwed and the ISP started gouging you to use their pipe.
So maybe paying over forty dollars for "unlimited" internet is cheaper. I put unlimited in quotations, because although they sell it as unlimited, there are hidden arbitrary limits and hidden throttling. Once you download or upload more than a certain amount of bits, ISPs may charge you extra or drop your service all together. Certain ISPs are starting to slow down traffic that they don't want on their network. Doesn't sound very "unlimited" to me.
