Receied a letter from NTL this morning stating that i've overshot the ''acceptable'' download quota for September and fearing the worst i read on.....

My punishment for excessive use is for NTL to lower my download speed to 512kbs,reduce the cost of my connection to £17.99 and,wait for it,give me unlimited downloading for the month !!

So,instead of paying £37 for 30 gigs a month i'm now paying £17.99 for a theoretical 150 gigs a month.

So basically NTL have saved me £228 a year and given me exactly what i wanted - an unmetered connection,albeit at a reduced speed.

Hmm,and then you wonder why NTL struggle in the corporate world.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
