A Week Til I Can Be Here a Lot on MyLot

I have 2G of data to last me 7 days. That means that I can not be online as much as I would normally be. If I seem to be ignoring you, please forgive me. I can only be on a hour or so and then I have to check my data usage. Once I get past the 9th of the month I will have all my 12G back in and I can catch everything up. Just bear with me as I try to do the best I can. If I can, I will go down and park at Panera so I can use their wifi, they are about 9 or 10 miles from my home. Do you take your unlimited Internet for granted? I won't ever again!!

I have a small data allowance on my mobile phone, but I never use it. I much prefer using my computer for internet and therefore can use it 24 hours a day if I wish.

I made the mistake of not getting inhouse Internet from my cable provider here in Florida. Next year I will bring a router and sign up for unlimited access.

@BelleStarr Using a mobile or a tablet may be fine for those who find it convenient, but the problem would be the cost imposed if the limit was exceeded.

@Asylum It is $15 per G so quite high.

Fortunately I don't have to worry about it but I can imagine it can be a pain at times, especially when on myLot and you really want to stay but have to go

There is no way I will make payout this month but I am fine with that, I will just try to catch up notifications and go from there.

@BelleStarr So by my reckoning your week of restricted data must be over. Is that correct?

I kind of forgot that that using your G thing is still limited places. My husband's computer is more limited than mine and it can make him crazy, sometimes.

MY iPhone is my hotspot so I can only use up to the amount of data my plan allows. I have expanded my plan to 12G but I don't want to go higher than that.

Nope I don't take it for granted. I am very fortunate that when I go to my college classes I am able to get the free wifi on my laptop. I am happy to be able to log in on myLot while enjoying a break.

I am glad you have that access, I could drive down to Panera but it means hubs has to sit in the car while I work!!

I am with t-mobile and I have unlimited, talk, text and data. Therefore, I can use my data 24 hours a day, and won't run out.I use my laptop when I am home though, and onlu use my iPhone when I am sitting in my car waiting for my dogs to get groomed. I use my ipad at night to post in hree, before I fall to sleep.

@BelleStarr Yea, I know that too, but I stay with them, becasue they have great plans, and I have been with them for a long time. I was with Verizon for a year, and I didn't like them, so then I cancelled, and went back to t-mobile. Where I live I have very good coverage. There is no service at my son's so I just use wifi there.

I turn my phone into a hotspot so I can use my laptop and since I am with Verizon I don't have unlimited data at least not at this point. T-mobile doesn't have good coverage in most places I go.

I'm having the same sort of problems, only mine is lack no time not internet. I can't keep up with everybody as I'm on holiday as you know, so I hope people don't think I'm ignoring them either.

@BelleStarr It's true isn't it? I think we could do without it if we had to, we'd find something else to fill our time.

We have a limit on our internet, I'm not sure what it is, but we get notifications when we get to 50, 75 or 90% of our usage. We've never had any notifications. I hope that you will enjoy the weather and things off line during your time off.
