Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I like how it is cheaper to buy it upfront. Like they can load an extra bag or two full of internet if they know you need it.

Talk about breach of social etiquette.

Out of curiosity: what do they actually do if you do outward streaming? Do they come to your seat and tell you to stop? Or do they bill you more? Or shut you off?

they absolutey come and tell you to immediately turn off: 'your phone call which is explicitly not allowed' and they have the 'or else' tone.

Scary! Thanks for the info...

What would the 'or else' be?

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they will call the captain and or forcibly take the device/restrain you if in the air, or kick you off if you havent left yet.

I think weve all seen enough non-compliance airplane videos.

I haven't actually, ha. Thanks for explaining.

I like that the pre-purchase discount for the 1GB is less in absolute terms than the pre-purchase discount for 20MB

Anyone else read "Bomb" for the Surf 80 data session value? No? Just me?
