You think that's bad? I'm in Jordan, and I'm paying 70USD/Month for 2mbps/512kbps down/up ADSL with a 10GB monthly cap. Each additional GB is another 7.5 USD.

(downloads after 10pm and before 7am are cap-free)

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.

And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you.
