For about a week now my internet connection has been like a snail, taking 5 minutes to load a page, and for a fast ADSL connection that is BAD. So I went into major fix-it mode, downloading 5 different programs to fix spyware, adware, malware etc, spending days trying to fix the problem with no luck.
So yesterday I called my ISP to find out if there was a problem on their end. Well maybe this is something I should have done first, because they inform me that I have gone over my download limit and they are shaping off the speed. Basically slowed the speed right down until it resets next billing month, which luckily is tomorrow. However this also means that we used over 15GB of downloads this month *eeek*. They did however inform me that my speed is back up to full speed in off peak hours, between 1am and 9 am, but I like my sleep so that wont be happening.
Oh the money these people make of us!! We just decided to boost out download limit and as a result will be paying an extra $20 a month!
