1 edit | Wanna know what metered billing is like? try verizon ISDN. without knowing they charged per minute connected (fools didnt tell us that was part of it, they just said 45$/month) we quickly racked up a $3,400 bill, WITH NORMAL INTRENET USE. (normal being surfing and some gaming, the occasinal small (less than 60mb) downloads. no 18 hour piracy downloads) now they charged per minute, and the ISDN downloaded at 14k a second. 14k x 60 = 860k a minute. so they were basically charging us 2 cents per 860k.
good thing we later worked it out and got them to drop the bill, on the premise we were never told anything. |
