I signed up with Activ8.net.au They are advertising on the T.V. at the moment. Satelite from $29.95, free installation to those who are eligible.

I am allowed 500MB's

But .. get this... I emailed their support asking how much extra I will be up for, for the extra MB's, & the returned email said: You will not be charged at this stage for exceeding the limit, up until January. normally its 8cents per MB.

So I'm still not sure what's what, lol, (free downloads till January? I'm on my dial up connection at the moment downloading a song to see how long it takes, not long at all. I'm beginning to think that dial up really isn't that bad. I don't know how to do anything on a computer to warrant broadband, I just wanted my phone line open.

Lets hope Activ8's above comment means I'm in the clear. I will figure out the useage I'm allowed & go from there.

Thank you both for your concern. I'm sticking around because I don't have anywhere else to go. I use to be assistant director on a hold'em ***** site, (the players were recruited for staff) & I was there 16 hours a day average. I barely go there now, so I have some spare time.
