It isn't a problem for me ST, but I know from reading that many people are tight right now.

I use Cox Cable for internet and TV, when you add in premium stations it isn't cheap. Heaven forbid they ever start charging by the hour for internet, lol........!!

You were saying ...

Well..., they did in the beginning, when individuals could first sign up for the Internet. The cost wasn't cheap and most of the beginning services were by the minute and hour.

It was a bit later that the "all you can use" bit came into being. At first I didn't think it was going to win out, but it finally did... :-)

This all took place when the government first turned the Internet over to commercial use, as commercial use was forbidden in the beginning, on the Internet.
