Where I live in the bush requires a mobile connection - VERY pricey. (no landline, no cable)

around $10/ gig.

Consider movies being from 4 - 8 gig - watching a movie online would be $40 - $80 - ain't gonna happen.

YouTube uses about 7meg/minute - so I rarely click on videos.

DU can better use my $$ than my internet providers.

And I sure don't miss the advertisements!
