Capped Internet

So for pretty much the first time ever, I'm experiencing capped internet. Well it's not like I've never gone over limit before, but we were on a plan that said we'd just pay extra and not compromise internet speed. That plan was quite atrocious though: we had 100G off peak and 5G on peak. On peak was pretty much from 12pm to midnight, and considering that I went to school, you can figure how much off peak I actually used. Needless to say I blew right through 5G per month (I had to share with my bro, too), and we ended up paying $40 extra that month or something. After that lesson we finally got a new internet plan, and from then on I don't think I ever got closed to the limit, because my brother moved out and I didn't have that many things to download.

But ehhh here I am, in a shared house with other university students. WHAT CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG WITH LIMITED INTERNET ACCESS? To be fair I don't think I've done anything OTT--- so I downloaded LoL and patched my other game, maybe I downloaded two seasons of GoT and copious amounts of music, but according to my usage stats I've used 35G in the last 60 days--- and even if I used all 35G in the same month (which I didn't) it's barely my fair share of download quota.

Well, it's no use going on about that now. The reality is my internet is slow as fuck, and the ungodly speeds are driving me crazy. It's not as bad as dial-up, but I don't think there's much worse it can get. I'm doing that thing that someone suggested to me a long, long time ago: sleep early, get up at 3am, work until sunrise. It sounded hideously stupid back then, but I can see why it might be feasible in this place: it's still hot despite it being May, and since my off peak times (where I haven't blown the limit) are 2am to 8am, it's really the best plan ever.

So here goes: a night of no sleep, and I'm going to get up (actually get up) and do my work. Yes, it will happen for sure.
