But that would mean ME getting off my Arse and doing something!!

Back in the day (almost 30 years ago), I had an Internet account with a 
small, local ISP. He originally had a shopfront but then moved 
everything into his Home (which I visited a couple of times) .... sort 
of like the asswipe .... but Ross knew what he was doing!!

Then got Mobile phone .... which I wasn't gunna use much so PAYG was way 
to go.

ISP closed his UseNet server, so got UseNet account elsewhere.

Still not using Mobile Phone much, so stayed PAYG.

Original ISP closed down totally, so went to another ISP, TPG, who 
originally supplied UseNet (but limited account [10GByte/month]) which 
was heaps for my (then miniscule) usage.... but then they closed their 
UseNet service to concentrate on phone + ISP service, so now with 
Eternal-September for UseNet service

Still not using Mobile Phone much, so stayed PAYG.

So now, if I'm going to be doing a lot of InterNet T.V. and/or Pay T.V., 
I might have to change ...... *MIGHT* ..... but not yet!! ;-P
