Yes. For every gig from those "gigs and gigs" over the 5 GB limit you pay $500.

That's simply criminal.

Holy fucking shit. I read this thread earlier and thought the $21k was a joke.
Fuck em man.

Check around and see if there's some advocacy group that are interested. You can't be the only one affected.

I say again...Holy Fucking Shit.

I wonder if this was this company strategy or they had a collective brain fade and simply missed what this rule is going to lead for. People are going to talk shit about them for years to come, and rightfully so.


And Ace, hang on there.
