Want proof that it's horrible? Read. XD; Evil demon ISP.

I think that even if I play Wajas once a day, it will be too much.

GAH. I WISH WE HAD KNOWN THIS BEFOREHAND.

NEVER GET WILDBLUE.NET. NEVER LET YOUR FRIENDS GET IT. SPREAD THE WORD.

My dad got an e-mail from WildBlue.net today. WildBlue.net is our ISP (internet service provider), and you can see just how horrible their service is by going to http://www.wildblue.net/ .

We're using too much bandwidth.

This is making the distribution to all users 'unequal' or something...

So they're cutting our connection speed. Which is already at basically a 100 kbps maximum.

If I play TEF any longer (since that it likely what is using so much bandwidth, because the only other things i do are play Wajas, surf this site, the forum, and not much else)...they'll add an extra $40 a month to our bill and slow our speed even FURTHER.

If you want to see how horrible the service is, google 'review wildblue' or something.

I've been reading.

Honestly, the only reason I liked this ISP at first was because they didn't lie about how fast it was. But they only compared themselves to dial-up.

We had no clue they'd rip us off month after month, and that they were such a horrible ISP.

...

I'm not leaving the community. It's wonderful here. I'm not leaving the forum.

I just...I can never enter the forest again, not until we can change to a different ISP.

I'll miss the forest.....

'get better once...' *anzel

'get better once...' *anzel does confused emote*

I know, though. I'm so angry at them x.x

Does anyone want to see something I saw right after I got this news, though...? I got some amazing pictures...

EDIT: Because we have to stay with WildBlue.net until this...'lease' thing, or something, that we signed, is up...until then, we can't quit. If we do, it'll cost us hundreds of dollars.

Our old ISP used to overcharge our phone bill, so now we have no landline.

But our ISP has unlimited bandwidth. o__o I find it hard to believe some ISP's put limits on it.

Well..sometimes I get lag.

Well..sometimes I get lag. Particularly if there's a whole bunch of deer in the forest. The more the deer the more the lag/longer it takes me to get the pictos to spread.
And Abio's...gah...although when it lags it IS a good time to get pictures/mess around with poses with the big god deer xD. But..when it unlags I have to go chasing them up again.
But other then that there's no other problems.
