• throttle down.. :(

    They've got throttling-down down to automated perfection. As soon as I reached my basic limit of 5GB, the speed was reduced to the totally ridiculous 110Kbps. That was two days ago. Have to wait until Nov 3 to get back to normal speed.

    That's interesting. I've hit data limits with my phone plan before, not fun. But never with my internet service. I'm honestly not sure what my plan has, other than it's not unlimited.

    I failed to mention that the service I am referring to is my data
    service with luckymobile.ca Hence, data and internet are the same
    thing. The promotion is "Unlimited Data..", *but* they throttle
    down after the original quota.

    For the most part, Telegram (and thus modest access to the gated
    echos), checking email, and operating a few apps (weather), work
    reasonably fine at the 110Kbps speed.

    The web-point session with Veleno BBS does take a noticeably longer
    time to load though.

    I made significant improvement in not wasting data when I
    incorporated a script-killer plugin 2 months ago, and only using the
    mobile doorway when checking Facebook for PMs.

    But this month, I wasted too much data reviewing a handful of YT
    videos for my Thinkpad T60 repair.

    I do however have a DSL internet service (different company) at my
    shop that us truly unlimited (no cap) and no throttling.

    YES.. I noticed that. Apparently, I click on Send in Thunderbird a second time in the midst of Thunderbird doing whatever it's supposed to be doing before the edit screen refreshes to confirm a successful send.
