You don’t actually think it’s free. Someone is paying for it so you can have it free or low cost.

And here I thought it was manna from heaven.

I tell ya what there, Ghandi, since you resent it so much that you feel the need to belittle me for posting about it, how’s this: They are expecting 48 million participants, my own savings will be about $60 a month. Why don’t you figure out what your share is that you’re paying of my share for a year, let me know the cost to you and I’ll send you that $ via PayPal. You’ll need to PM me your email address.

I’ll be waiting for your PM.

I am going by memory here but the internet was not invented! The internet was originally ordered by the US military back in the 1940s or 50s after they realized that during an atomic explosion, radios and wireless don’t work. And we can’t have that, we need to communicate at all times!

So, this says that the internet highway belongs to We The People, the taxpayers!

Personally I don’t see a problem with “Free or Low-cost Internet” for the owners of this thing!

Thx for finding that for me.

I was about to say, “Alas, I don’t qualify,” but what I really mean is, “Luckily, I don’t qualify.” Although I suspect that by the time I’m done paying for the hubster’s dementia care, I might =8-0

Enjoy your internet access, halco!
