drubinI use my phone as a modem all the time and I never use 100mb21:32
|3o|3but like 2G vs 100 mb21:32
|3o|3there's just no comparison21:32
|3o|3and that was supposed to be a GB :P21:33
drubin|3o|3: compare price21:33
inetproI just need something for emergencies21:33
|3o|3I suppose21:33
inetproat home have a decent telkom connection even if I hate to admit it21:33
|3o|3I have such a crappy connection at University, hey drubin :P21:34
marcoginetpro: interesting, to compare you can get 250MB a month for R50 a month21:35
marcog*in zurich21:35
marcogwhere everything is 10 times as expensive as here21:36
drubin|3o|3: but you pay R250 per gig for that during peek time 21:36
|3o|3drubin: only R200... lol21:36
marcogwow really?21:36
marcogdo you guys pay for connections to uct?21:36
drubins/guys/you/21:37
|3o|3marcog: not to cs.uct.ac.za21:37

marcog|3o|3: and clam?21:37
marcogoh not to cs21:37
|3o|3marcog: Also, I'm sure that would only be http21:37

|3o|3no ssh tunneling :(21:37
|3o|3True...21:37
drubinmarcog: I know21:38
marcogpostgrads are uncapped and as long as we don't use 40GB in consecutive months we're safe :)21:38
marcog|3o|3: any reason why only cs is unblocked?21:39
|3o|3marcog: Steve got them to open it for all the algorithm resources and stuff... Anyways, I'm considering Cell C R41 p/gig Coupled with FNBConnect R0.25 per minute phone calls21:39
drubinmarcog: 40gigs I don't even use that much21:40
marcogdrubin: my point exactly21:41
marcogwe were discussing this a couple weeks ago21:41
drubinI wish I had at least 10mb line.21:41
marcogis there anyone on campus that legally downloads more than 40gb in consecutive months21:41
