WOW. I had no idea.
Even though it's restricted, hopefully it is faster than dialup!
If you run afoul of your plan's allotment, you could use your smartphone to connect to the internet and if it has a HOTSPOT feature and you have a data plan, you could turn that on and share the internet from your phone to your computer via WiFi (if your computer has WiFi)...
I would feel so isolated and claustrophobic without internet access.
Also, near me, lots of restaurants and fast-food joints have free and open WiFi so you can use their internet, but I would not do so without a VPN because if you use someone else's internet, they could be snooping on you and stealing your passwords in-situ as you login to your email, etc...
I hope it works out for you Val. We need you here on UU and YT
One of the hardest lessons in life seems that going from abundance of something, and then being forced to learn and accept living with much less of that something.
I am not explicitly referring to money, but feast-vs-famine or free-vs-constricted is not fun.
Would you believe I'm in the middle of nowhere doing exactly that right now? Better stop using up my data....
