RE: Is it free to internet?

in OCD5 years ago

Ha! We don't have TV , or any other streaming programs on our limited Internet and we can also maybe watch one, or two short videos here on the Hive posts. I try to avoid videos, as they chew data.
Our package "Cell C" is the cheapest in South Africa and we have to keep a tight rein on our usage, else we run out of data.
Such is life!

Sort:  

When I lived in Australia I had to be more careful - here, there is no limits on it at all so it is easy. Back in the day, I was designing websites in Oz and we had to optimize heavily for low data limits and for speed. European and US pages would take an eternity to load.

Ah! So you know what I am talking about.
They are now busy digging trenches all over the place to lay fiber cables and everyone is talking about the uncapped and speed of fiber, but the prices are again way beyond our fireplace.

We have a small wireless, mobile modem and we buy a 200 Gig package for Marian to lecture and mark her students. She has on average 200 students per term and communicates with each individual student.
I piggy back on the system and that's why we have to be very careful with the data.
