Internet service may get more expensive
February 6, 2009
In an effort to cut back on expenses, some people have drastically trimmed their entertainment budgets. To make up for the lack of going out for entertainment, some of these people have chosen to stay in.
The internet has become a popular way for people to watch their favorite TV shows, download movies and get new music. With most internet providers offering a flat fee for the service, it’s a cheap entertainment alternative.
Apparently the days of paying a flat fee for unlimited internet usage are about to go the way of the Edsel and vinyl records.
I saw this story on MSN recently. Most of the major internet service providers are looking into new usage/pricing structures. The fees would be based on the amount of gigabytes you use each month.
(To be completely honest, I really have no concept of bits and bytes. But, the story provides some good examples of how much usage you would get on the various gigabyte plans.)
If you are a heavy internet user, it’s probably time start to take stock of just how much you use and what it could cost you, so that you can budget accordingly.
