Hot Topic: UBB
UBB. Usage-based billing. This is something that internet service providers are going to start implementing. When I heard about this, I sort of blew it off. But then I started to think about how unfair it is. my family pays for 60 GB of internet per month. Do we use all of it? No, but we use more than 25 GB. It does what it needs to, it supports what we do, and we can afford it. I use Steam, so I have to purchase and download games. My mom watches a lot of YouTube, I torrent. But as of March 1st, anything over 25 GB will run you $2. Yeah, two dollars to transmit data, which costs nearly nothing. And even if you don't surpass your 25 GB limit, you still have to pay the full price of the bill.
I can't say anything that this awesome anti-UBB site doesn't already say. It's amazingly worded and points out every single flaw with this disgusting limit imposed on us. I can't stress enough that you need to get this out. Tell everyone, show them this website, and do everything you can to oppose the UBB. The movement is massive, and we need every single bit of help we can get to defend our rights to what we're paying for. Seriously, this isn't a joking matter. We all need to pitch in.
