I failed to mention that the service I am referring to is my data
service with luckymobile.ca   Hence, data and internet are the same
thing.  The promotion is "Unlimited Data..", *but*  they throttle
down after the original quota.

For the most part, Telegram (and thus modest access to the gated
echos), checking email, and operating a few apps (weather), work
reasonably fine at the 110Kbps speed.

The web-point session with Veleno BBS does take a noticeably longer
time to load though.

I made significant improvement in not wasting data when I
incorporated a script-killer plugin 2 months ago, and only using the
mobile doorway when checking Facebook for PMs.

But this month, I wasted too much data reviewing a handful of YT
videos for my Thinkpad T60 repair.

I do however have a DSL internet service (different company) at my
shop that us truly unlimited (no cap) and no throttling.
