Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

My landlord charges $15 per month to use a crappy internet connection. There's at least ten of us living in the house, so that's 150 bucks a month total, 50 of which will go towards the monthly bill and 100 left in his pocket. I found out today that there's a 100 GB cap on this account, which has been surpassed. This connection's slow on the best of days, and now it's nearly at a standstill since our cheap landlord doesn't want to spend the rest of that 100 bucks on a BETTER CONNECTION.

As you may have heard, I'm a very active internet user and this is unacceptable. I have projects to study for and submit via the internet.

Screw you, landlord. Screw you, Bell, for putting a cap on in the first place and for charging extraordinary prices for lackluster service, while our friends in Asian nations enjoy cheap and speedy connections.

Maybe I'll move to Taiwan.

Taiwan eh? (mmmmmmm.......Aids)

That's bullshit, Bell is a terrible provider anyway. That's why I switched to AT&T. Have you ever considered just moving out?

Mar. 25, 2009 | 11:06 PM Rig responds:

That would be silly since I just moved in.

Is that legal what he's doing? He deserves a good pin pin, in the eye.

Mar. 26, 2009 | 12:50 AM Rig responds:

He can charge whatever he wants. It's not fair, but there's no law against it. I'm thinking of getting my own line...

There aren't any public/university libraries in your area?

Here in the US, they have cable internet connection. The library would put a limit on you for say an hour though, but university/college libraries have separate sections for guests. (no time limit there...)

Hey, after saving teh day, I'd be willing to have you as a roomate as soon as this dude leaves. Internet's almost as fast as DSL and it's not too costly.

You will never get tired showing those articles to everyone right Rig?

Mar. 28, 2009 | 6:09 PM Rig responds:

I'm tired of showing them, but people still want to see, so I provided a link.

Yeah especially on a site that has over 1 million visitors a day none of them are gonna go out on a limb to call the cops. His fault if he was joking. He made a threat and even said he was gonna carry it through. It was a damned if you do damned if you don't situation.
