25 Mbps is $69 per month, with 125 Gb of download included and a surcharge per
Gb after that.
50 Mbps is, I think $99 per month, with a limit of $175 G downloaded and a
(smaller) per Gb surcharge afer that.
In both cases the surcharges for extra downloads are capped to a maximum of
$50, so
Can't speak for others, but I am on an account with Rogers Cable Systems in
Ontario that gets me consistently up to 25 Mbps speed. And there is an account
type that is one higher than that which tops out at 50. Mind you it doesn't;t

Well, in fact, I have thought about canceling outright and just going to a

Problem is, according to Dell, once a machine has started in production, it

With apologies for my lack of understanding, I'm not sure I see where this

Hi all,
Related to my previous question about swapping boot drives, I suspect I am
going to bite the bullet and build in time to do a re-install and not try to
band-aid it all.
Which leads me to another question.
My Win 7 machine will have at least 3 users on it (me, wife, daughter). Is

Point made and taken. That was indeed not an entirely fair comment.
