That was life most days. The same thing over and over and over. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.And then last year I decided it wasn’t for me anymore. I realized working 60 to 80 hours a week to make the money to buy more superfluous stuff didn’t fill the void I felt inside. It only brought more debt and anxiety and fear and loneliness and guilt and stress and paranoia and depression.So I canceled my routine. Or, rather, I traded in my routine for better habits.

Bandwidth caps are rate hikes – Cringely on technology

That 250 gigabytes-per-month works out to about one megabit-per-second, which costs $8 in New York. So your American ISP, who has been spending $0.40 per month to buy the bandwidth they’ve been selling to you for $30, wants to cap their maximum backbone cost per-subscriber at $8.

I upgraded to “Extreme 50” DOCSIS3 recently. Essentially I’m paying $100 for the same $8 worth of backbone cost. 250GB is definitely very tight, 500GB would be more reasonable.
