Hello new customers to the BigTime plan, we're terminating your plan again!

[Swoop]

Have you lot seen the new XT ad with the Telecom CEO basically pleading with everyone to "give XT a go?"

At one point in the ad, he takes a call on his phone, halfway through the call, looks down at it and says "bugger", then looks at the camera, smiles and says "just kidding".

Phenomenal advertising. No doubt that will bring people back to XT in droves.

He obviously goes fishing on a regular basis... not. Going by the squeaky clean, brand new gear that he's wearing, I guess he has pocketed a nice new set of equipment on the company account.

I'll fucking laugh the next time XT craps out and he has to eat humble pie.

Tell-lie-con. Just say "NO!".

What part of "unlimited" they did not understand?

[Sentox]

What part of "unlimited" they did not understand?

The part where customers might actually use it.

300GB is hardly big time. The mere fact that the number is in GB not PB indicates that it's small stuff. The fact that people would think it is shows how archaic this country is.

We ARE in the 22nd century you know, the last Morse key was retired some years ago.

Thank hevaens I have a 40MB unlimited pipe at work. Anything for home I just save to a portable 1TB drive.

Mean while in the real world anyone on bigtime should download to their hearts content after all you paid for the soon to be terminated service so get going.

Yeah tried that and they've "traffic managed" me down to 15kb/s. I've only downloaded 75GB in the last 3 weeks, hardly the terrabytes they were moaning about.

Yeah, my line speed used to be around 11mbps overnight and 6 during the day. Now we're at 5mbps overnight and 3.5 during the day. Lol.

[DangerMice]

Yeah normal http traffic I usually sit at around 10-11mbps, however I was downoading SQL Server 2008 Express last night, 150MB at 15kb/s = painful.

Are you competing with DangerousB as to who can spout the most bullshit?

Hasn't Linux died off yet?

I feel he may have to eat a tiny bit more than that soon enough. Who would have thunk it when he took this job on he would have been facing down so much shit. Lucky he is paid well. Wonder what his exit package is worth...

Poor sod only got an extra $5500 per week with the last tax cuts, too. Reduced to taking a part time job making crappy ads so he can make ends meet

My laptop is 1.5 TB. My desktop is 6TB internal and 4 TB overflow to an external SATA drive. If that runs short I can overflow to 20 TB on the SAN.

300 GB is trivial. What's bullshit about that?
