I'm 4 days into my 2nd month of service and already I've used 1.6GB of 10GB monthly allotment. I'm finding I really want to watch the news and some favorite hobby and instructional YouTube videos.
When there is not pausing in the videos it's just too easy to go over the daily budget you try to set. And surfing the internet is really opened up to go anywhere you can think of.... So that's what the real world is doing???:?:
Fast is good! and I see an upgrade in the near future.

Yea, all the time we fussed about slow internet we wished we had the speed, then we get the speed, now we need to do something about the amount. I did hear that ViaSat has launched the new satellite and when it is commissioned, they tell me that we will have a 100GB plan available. I wanted to pre-sign, but that has not happened yet. I am assuming that the meter is registering the correct amount.

Yeah, I think the meter is good. I just like the airgun videos.
Here what I want now KalibrGun - Cricket http://www.topairgun.com/22-kalibrgun-cricket-standard-synth...
Definitely not for Mexico but I can dream.

#1 ...if you play, you pay

#2 here is your solution

limit YOUR usage per day...
it's a "forced budget" machine...your "budget" would be 0.4gig per day

eric who writes the software for this knows what he's doing...
once you exceed you data for the day...the wireless shuts off
you can set the reboot time to reset every 24 hours

you can always hard-wire to the router to use the internet but you have to remember your budget for the future

Viasat2 doesn't launch until late summer of 2016, but is 3 times the capacity of Viasat1. Also its footprint will cover all of north America, Mexico including Baja, central America and into the Caribbean.

Just the caliber, 25 is what I'd want, would make it illegal. Also it would be a hunting gun and without the proper papers I wouldn't want to be out and have the wrong people stop me. Kind of an expensive toy to have taken away. I have a Marauder 177 now and it's a tack driver at 50 yards. Just a fun target gun if that's all you need. Sometimes they taste like dove.

I have a .25 cal pcp gun at my place and the police and military have seen it and shot it. they both said that air guns are not a problem. Mine is a Sumatra 6 shot lever action. Fun to shoot but really loud.
Here is a Mexican air gun distributor that sell the same gun I have in .25 and 9mm caliber. http://co2airgunsmexico.com/new/?product_cat=precargados

Russ - 5-6-2015 at 10:07 AM

Yep, I have 21 days left and have gone thru 3.9GB. Definitely will upgrade when I get fap'd.
