True. I've been thinking about it. It is quite expensive to pay for a personal dsl connection while I spend most of my time in the office anyway. (I even complain for the high monthly fee of my mobile phone already and here I am planning on paying another high fee. Hehehe!) Thanks for enlightening me.
A lot of people asked me how much online time I spend at home in a month. Honestly, I dunno. I may give a rough estimate of about 150 hours. Then they said I should just get a "reliable and fast" prepaid card. If that is the case then what prepaid service can you suggest? Please email me personally just to avoid mentioning names.
