You pay for the maximum possible speed, not the speed you actually ever achieve. You should be able to call ATT and have them explain the discrepancy. My ATT uverse had throttling kick in around 250gb per month but this depends on the contract.

It's a pretty fun game, unless you do not care for 20 or 40 man raids and the meta-game hassle involved in organizing them. One of the first raid bosses in the progression is called the "Roster Boss" because it causes guilds to fold by losing members. TBH, I think, like most video games, the...

I'm not sure if corrupt is the best word. Gaming journalism is more or less tabloid journalism. By that I mean the journalists write about what developers/publishers tell them. If you make a developer mad they are not going to invite you to there press events and you subsequently are not going...

Maybe I was mistaken on the model. It might be the HD version, but regardless it is a model with a mic.

What programs would you recommend? I have an iPad and my mother-in-law has a Kindle Fire and Skype isn't working for us.

The game has been in a bad spot since release trying to defeat botters, which is puzzling because the game as a legitimate money to gold conversion system. I have not had any issues, so I hope it works out for you. You might try enabling the two-step authentication and mention that in the email.

I recently moved to Germany, and as an American I really can't win either way. If I say fußbol people ask me if I mean soccer and if I say soccer people laugh and let me know its called fußbol. It is as if Europeans cant comprehend that Americans can distinguish between two very different sports...

What the $60 USD is buying you is really skipping a ~180 hours of mostly solo content (assuming 2 hours per level). I was leveling a rogue a few months ago and my queues for sub 90 dungeons were between 30 min to 1 hour, all I wanted to do was play the "massively" part of an MMO and I couldnt...

Bowling. Thought it would be okay after playing some years of Wii sports bowling. Nope I was awful, just terrible.

There is an interesting series of novels by Stephen Baxter called Flood (2008) and Ark (2009) which deal with the aftermath of massive subterranean aquifers rupturing and flooding the earth. It's been a while since I read them, but they were fairly interesting mix of hard science fiction and the...

The books are better in the sense they create a richer sense of the world Tolkein created. The books and movies are reasonably similar, just the movies had studio edits to try and appeal to a broader class of movie goers.

MMO subscriptions typically don't "run out". They are usually set to auto-renew in discrete chunks of time with longer chunks being the better value. Make sure you cancel your sub, otherwise it will auto renew. When you cancel you are allowed access until the renewal point. There is nothing...

I think in situations like this, the costs need to be transparent. The main controversy with the NFL was they hid the extent of brain damage caused by years of professional football from the players. More or less team owners were making significant profit at the expense of players and insurance...

I like looking at negative reviews because positive reviews can be self-affirming and offer little to think about. A negative review challenges me to consider the persuasiveness of the critic and my own opinions. On the other hand, several no-name bloggers exploit the infamy from hating...

I felt the same. To their credit I feel like Borderlands 2 really tightened up the story aspect of the game. It's nice to see companies improve on a feature. TBH and I'm sure it's cliche, but ME3 is hands down the worst game ending I have ever experienced. A lot of games disappoint me on some...
