Those Daisies are Cute, Jaycee! Thank you! : )

I Forgot to Mention that my Internet Satellite Connection has a Mandatory "Threshold" of How Many Videos you are Allowed to Download; we Went over that Threshold within the First Few Months of Installation and Received an Email from them Threatening to Turn us Down to Dial-Up Speed. After that, I Upgraded the Package, and have Learned through Trial and Error How Many Vids I can Watch without Going Over the Threshold.

The Satellite doesn't Work when it's Raining, and One Time when the Modem Went Out, it Took 3 Tries to Get them to Come Here and Replace it; the Satellite didn't Work for about a Month and a Half, but we were Charged for Usage Anyway.

The Satellite's Price is Expensive and the Service Mediocre. :( I Read a List of Complaints once on the Internet, and one Guy said they Turned him Down to Half of Dial-Up Speed after he Went over the Threshold, and then they never would Change it Back. After that, I have Always Watched my P's and Q's Carefully, Monitoring my Usage Religiously to Avoid a Similar Fate. :(

Kitty, I have never heard of such 'restrictive rules'...my goodness, prisoners get better than that and don't even have to pay. Its unbelievable that anyone can have so much control over people when 'the people' are paying for their service. Terrible! Hope you can get something better soon.
