Re: Should we Start Suing Chinese Buffets too?

said by biggbrother:

I mean, when I got to a buffet that promotes itself as "all-you-can-eat", it better mean that I can stay there all day long, morning, noon, and night.. Heck maybe even a few days.
Don't be obtuse, man. You're comparing apples to rocks. An all you can buffet is vastly different from a mobile phone plan that is advertised as unlimited but really isn't. It isn't reasonable for anyone to expect he can set up camp for a few days inside of a Chinese buffett.

I think it's an excellent comparison. But seriously what application is going to cause a cell user to go over 10gb??

try again. none of those applications would touch 10gb. seriously you'd have to listen to pandora over 8 hours per day EVERY day to go over 10GB in a month. I use pandora somewhat frequently and don't come near that usage.

Yeah, if you actually use 10GB with active material that you USE not just store because you like to have every song downloaded then I think it's time to get a job or a girlfriend.

Your comparing apples to oranges. A Chinese buffet closes for the night. A Cellphone company doesn't have calling curfews, perhaps in Utah (only sin and fornification (nightlife) can happen at night, proper Christians sleep at night, only evil do-ers call people at night) or an Islamic country (I'll make a guess and say no phones can dial out, and no phones can ring, and unless you get an exception from the govt/telco, your phone call is disconnected and replaced by a call to prayer, why wouldn't someone pray? its grounds for execution, we are all Muslims right?).

I use maybe 3GB tops per month on my cell phone AND I do download things (no alot obviously).
For those who say that 10GB isn't enough due to online based services...you wouldn't want to use them anyways on the go because 3G eats battery life like water. I will only get about 10min of *actual* web surfing on my AT&T Tilt before the phone cries out for power. I know it sucks, but its the price you pay I guess. And if you are at home with a charger, why wouldn't you just your computer anyways?

Good point. However, I will admit that since I purchased the G1, I tend to use it on WiFi at home because it's more convenient than firing up the laptop.
