I wish I could charge them for garbage service, poor billing services and a broken website where I can’t even download my bills because it is broken all the time.

Bandwith Caps

What are you guys doing? I am nowhere close to using my bandwith limit and I use the Internet alot. This is a non issue. My bandwith allotment at the moment is plenty for my needs.
