...which is in your landlady's name, there are things it's vitally important not to do.
Like, for example...and I'm just throwing this out there as an example, right? I mean, it's not that this happened or anything...
It's vitally important not to find this really, really extensive webcomic and read it, page for page, from the front to the finish, during this one really windy day when things are slow.
Because if you do that, and you've got this satellite service where you can only download 750 megabytes in a whole month, and if you go to eighty percent of your download limit the person in whose name the service is gets this nastygram saying so...
And if like in one day you go from 39% of your limit to like 79%...and again, this is just an example because this didn't really happen...
Because if you cross that final one percent, then the landlady is going to get this nastygram...
And if you're not the only person using the service...
Well, then. Like I say. It could get awkward. That's all I'm saying.

Not only a nasty-gram but also
"Most satellite Internet providers also have a FAP (Fair Access Policy). Perhaps one of the largest disadvantages of satellite Internet, these FAPs usually throttle a user's throughput to dial-up data rates after a certain "invisible wall" is hit (usually around 200 MB a day). This FAP usually lasts for 24 hours after the wall is hit, and a user's throughput is restored to whatever tier they paid for. This makes bandwidth-intensive activities nearly impossible to complete in a reasonable amount of time (examples include P2P and newsgroup binary downloading)."
I know, I know. :(
So far that's never happened here, but there's always tomorrow. Or in this case, possibly today.
So uhh...what was the webcomic?
Re: anon,
They actually abreviate "fair access program" as 'FAP'!? *snigger*
