    AT&T cell phone roll over minutes mom

    I hate that bitch. "you not only keep the unused minutes from previous months, but they roll over until you use them" bleah bleah bleah

    shut up you stupid bitch...

    first off roll over minutes are NOT the end of the world. if you have THAT many unused minutes at the end of every month, maybe a pay as you go plan for your family is the way to go. sure, it might be a bit more expensive, but, you won't have unused minutes EVER again!

    he he

    cell phone commercials seem to be equally crappy everywhere

    here flatrates come more and more, first for classic landline based telephony since a good year or two there are also cell phone to cell phone flatrates (different net, same net, to landline based net).

    data flats are also coming (some arent really flats since speed gets capped after 5 GB traffic)...

    data flats are for those smartphones which can proper browse the internet, receive / send emails, have other tools installed (like IRC-clients). data transfer via cell phone (gprs, umts, edge) is pretty expensive with those flats it gets more affordable atm they still want to limited the users so they dont overload the network with massive downloads/streaming. sooner or later real fats will show up... and as usual prices will drop

    Sometimes they limit your bw not based on your transfer but based on what do you do. This way they try to make sure they don1t have to deal with p2p traffic.

    probably

    still if the contract doesnt specifically allows them to monitor your traffic and limit your connection... you can smack em on the head

    They prioritize, and anything that gets through their proxies, etc. gets full bw, anything else gets low bw? Good luck to torrent with a http proxy...

    would steaming of video / audio, web downloads, larger emails and FTP transfers also be affected by an http-proxy?

    looks unlikely that an ISP will put a webproxy as gateway between the customers and the internet... at least here...
