Sorry, I'm slowing down with age, and brain damage from a birth defect plus a concussion during Vietnam.
Sometimes it takes me a while to understand things.
It is one reason why I could never get much past approx first semester Japanese, and why (with the aid of a computer) I can read Japanese a lot better then I can understand the spoken language.

No, no, you're still not getting it. I'm saying that it doesn't matter what the final cost is or how much overage you have, because that's not part of my original point, which was that the overage fee's rate is the lowest I've seen.
If you really want to know the final overage cost of using 2400GB on a 300GB cap with $10/50GB, it's $420. The total overage was 2100GB, which is 21 x 100GB. Every 10GB is $20. Therefore, $20 x 21 = $420. But again, it's irrelevant.
Imagine I said that the cheapest gas prices I've ever seen were in place A, where the price is $0.75/L. Saying "but I have to get 1000L of fuel" does not defeat the point. Something like "but place B has gas for $0.73/L" would.

Since you guys have mentioned it a fair bit, what is the most recommended VPN? Or best, or whatever. -_-;
I dunno if anyone cares, but I'll mention it anyway:

It seems the system has been delayed, and should be up by the end of the year, since they want to ensure it is consumer-friendly.
