With Apologies to Bowie
I’ve got five gigs, that’s all I got
I’ve got five gigs, my brain hurts a lot
Five gigs, no more YouTube
Five gigs, bye bye Hulu
Last night i found out Sprint will be following the likes of AT&T and Verizon and changing the meaning of Unlimited from “being with out limit” to “hmm, somewhere around 5GB give or take, no let’s make it 5GB” meaning that as of July 13 I will be limited to 5GB of data a month on my Sprint EVDO Data card. If I exceed that in two out of three months my service will be terminated and since my contract is not up until July of next year (wow that’s means I’ve been using it for a year already, that doesn’t sound right) I’ll get slapped with a $200 ETF. I checked my usage for the month so far. 11GB, I’m on course to use between 15to 20GB this month and I don’t think that is atypical. TThis, however, is not a bad thing.
In keeping with the theme of mediocrity that is our goal here at Clovis Chitwood Heavy Industries the EVDO service from Sprint has fit right in. But I want more. I want me some bandwidth, and I’m ready to deal with Satan (Comcast[not meaning to single them out all public utilities are evil {except for the Madison Suburban Water District they rock <no, I'm serious>}]). The problem was the contract with Sprint, but now they have made a substatial change to my contract, I can get out without paying the dreaded EFT. I’ve just got to do it by the 13th if I understand correctly.
Today’s the tenth, right?
