Do you have any special habit when you get online?

In the past here the internet charge was so high. I used dial-up at that time and the cost would plus internet and telephone fee and they charged in every minute. Therefore, I formed a habit since that. When I am online, I will do many things at the same time to take advantage of the every internet time. I would upload and download when I searched the information or replied the email or chatted online. The internet wouldn't be idle at my side Now I used ADSL and I don't have to be so nervous when I am online

When you first get broadband it's luxury, it's wonderful and yes you can stop worrying about how much you are on line for and how much you are spending! Once you switch over to broadband you can never go back to dial up, I did and I couldn't believe the difference in speed as well, it was so damn slow, I didn't have the patience for it, so I had to wait 4 months without internet so that I could get broadband in my area. I do turn it all off before I go to bed otherwise the adapter overheats, but otherwise it's always on during the day without worry.

Yeah, when i come online the first thing i do is to login to all my IM's and then check all my email accounts, first one being my official email account :-).
Since i have an unlimited plan for broadband so it is not a big hassle for me to come online or think about economic use of internet.
