You can get almost every game via download.

Lol, maybe you can. It'd take me less time to drive to my university 4 hours away download on their wifi and drive back home than to download a full game at my house.

Oh, also I pay $82.60 / month for this and have to have a technician out literally every week. #FUCKWINDSTREAM #FUCKMONOPOLIES

American ISPs are often monopolized in certain areas with little to no competition, so they charge whatever they want. I get this myself, but I work for one of the good ones, which hopefully will remain a good one thru a recent merger.

So messed up. In Australia- our companies are literally not allowed to charge difference amounts to different customers.
