Yeah, online games
This was also back when the home internet also had a data cap
So it wasn't like I could just flip to that like some people suggested here and there
Tho it was fun to watch brains explode when I told them "hey house internet has a data cap too"

I read a lot of fanfiction on my phone too.

I remember when I was a kid and I didn't have internet at home I'd print off the stories at school so I could read them at home. Lol.

that's adorable!

i used to read whatever i could get my hands on. i was a massive borrower from friends lol. it used to make me so sad that we could only go to the school library once a week and then not even borrow anything a lot of the time. if the librarian was in an off mood we were only allowed to read there for half an hour, not take anything back.

Light: OMGGG ARE WE RELATED!? Back in the day, it was all dial up so because I couldn’t read all the fanfics I wanted, I saved them on a disc. I didn’t waste paper and printed them up but i was pretty close to it lol!

We used to have limited data usage for our internet before and it was almost a dollar per gb. So we switched providers and got unlimited but at a slower speed. C:

So they never bothered to explain to either of you that there was a data cap? Yeesh

Streams, video chat, etc, took bit over a gig an hour
And I think overage rates was something like $15/GB over, partial counted as a whole
And then we got mom's phone looked at and the guy went wtf stop paying so much for a data cap here's a much cheaper option that's unlimited
Our phones switched to unlimited the same time we got the current mifi
Which I named UnicornPoop because it's renameable

I just introduced my six year old daughter to dunking cookies into milk. It's like I've opened a whole new world to her. She's absolutely fascinated.
