ADSL prices decrease, but with tons of strings attached. Orange stabs us again in the back.
As I was reading on Adoosh today, Orange has lowered their ADSL prices, but has lowered all of the limitations. Even our unlimited one. The 128 kb/s internet connection famous for its unlimited download speed is now limited to a 'huge' 2 GB!
What does this mean? Well, for something like 512 kb/s, once you download more than 3 GB, your speed is lowered to 128 until the following month. But to where will the 128 kb/s be lowered to? 56?! Will we now be blogging as if we were on Farah cards? Would images never pop up?
Well with the new limitations applied, what would this mean? No more torrent downloading over night? No more free movies from the net and more visits to the DVD shop? All we can do is wait. If you want to check out if your speed has been limited, try out this and see what you get.
Maybe we can try calling Orange and see if we can get the unlimited back? Ah, no that wont work - they never pick up the phone anyway and you keep listening to that horrible song for hours and hours.
Believe me, I am willing to pay 2 extra JDs so I can get my freedom back. Argh...
