'Finally' is a rip off !! No use in java !!

Hello guyz,
Just wanted to discuss about the use of the keyword finally.
"The finally is a Java keyword that is used to define a block that is always executed in a try−catch−finally statement. In java, there are three clauses named try, catch and finally used as exception handler components. A finally block
typically contains cleanup code that recovers from partial execution of a try block."
I mean if i don't even write my code in finally still it will execute outside the block if an exception occurs.
how ever if an exception does't occur i have the same code executing twice....
public class one
     public static void main(String args[])
          int i=27;
          try
               System.out.println(i/2);
               System.out.println("hey");
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println(e);
          finally
               System.out.println("hey");
}please clarify... or i am going bananas here...

like in this code
public class one
     public static void main(String args[])
          int i=27;
          try
               System.out.println(i/0);
               System.out.println("hey");
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println(e);
          System.out.println("hey");
}

  • Optical drive on iMac at work, barely one year old, won't read CD's....disc utilities shows disc unavailable!  Rarely used and out of warranty, what a rip off!!  I have been on MACS since the 80's and things are getting more and more difficult

    Optical drive on iMac at work, barely one year old, won't read CD's....disc utilities shows disc unavailable!  Rarely used and out of warranty, what a rip off!!  I have been on MACS since the 80's and things are getting more and more difficult to deal with. Why did it quit after barely being used? Any help from Apple?

    It depends on what you mean by "barely one year old". If the iMac is only a couple of days out of warranty, Apple's been known to make exceptions and extend the warranty, though it's by no means guaranteed. If it's several days or more out of warranty, then Apple will fix it, if it's a hardware problem, but the repair won't be free. This is no different now then it would have been with a Mac purchased back in the 80s.
    Why the drive failed, if indeed it has, is impossible to say. Could have been a static shock, a weak component that failed when power was applied, or a mechanical fault in one of the tiny parts used in optical drives and hard drives that finally broke.
    Regards.

  • I bought Logic Pro 9 in May and haven't had time to use it... And now they have Logic Pro X. Can I get a refund and buy X? I feel a bit ripped off as it stands now.

    Can someone help? I feel bummed and a bit ripped off.  I'd like to have Logic Pro X now, with all it's nice new features. I bought Logic 9 in May and haven't had time to even look at it. You think apple will offer people like me a refund? I hope so. I just don't feel it's right to charge so much for the upgrade.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Apple offered a refund for users who purchased Logic Pro 9 30 days or less before the Logic Pro X launch, but they don't do it anymore, so if you want to upgrade to Logic Pro X, you have to purchase it in the Mac App Store
    Part of this is incorrect...
    Some App Store employee's "accidentally" (but in good faith) issued refunds to a few users who had purchased Logic 9 within 30 days prior to the mid-July release of Logic-X. Word quickly came down from Apple HQ that this was against App Store policy and the practice was immediately stopped.
    To the original poster.. you never stood a chance, even if they were issuing refunds you didn't fall within the 30 day period.  There were many who purchased Logic 9 a few days before the LX release who did not get a refund.

  • I have been completely Ripped off by these People

    I have been completely Ripped off by these People and they do not care. None of them. I have spoke to multiple customer service reps on the phone. None of them gave a toss about me. They don't care. Spent hours on the phone to them being passed around and told the same lines over and over again which they are clearly reading from a script. Very annoyed.
    Basically I moved house in december 2013 and arranged a move house package. was meant to be adtivated jan 6 2014. waited in all day and no one showed up. not even a phone call or anything. turned out the bt engineer didnt bother coming as the cables werent even laid yet by my house. (brand new housing estate). yet they never bothered to tell me this, they just let me wait inside like a complete idiot all day long. by now we have been without internet/phone since december 19th 2013. we were then told the cables were being laid the next wednesday.
    when wednesday came they sent an email saying they had arranged our engineer visit and that we had to wait 7 days or something stupid as thats the time it takes when initiating a new order. even though our order was cancelled so i would have thought they'd have not made us wait the 7 days again. of course our internet did not arrive 7 days later as it turned out the engineer hadnt even put in a mastersocket or anything. NOTHING. no engineer came to our house at all at any time. we had no service until Jan 22nd the day they activated it at the exchange or whatever. Thats an entire MONTH with no service. oh and we still couldnt use it as none of the sockets had been wired to the master socket. it just had a plain blank socket on it. but hey it was active. so I rang up to order an infinity package (upgrade) and was promised the engineer would come and install our sockets and stuff. he finally arrived on Feb 11th.
    Hurray we had service. Only about 7 weeks we waited. But then I rang up to ask about a refund on the bill since we had not used anything as it wasn't there AND it wasn't OUR fault. But this is when I was passed around like a parcel in a childrens game. No one cared. So I ended up paying £51 for NOTHING. Oh btw our bill is SUPPOSED to be £42 so I was charged extra actually. They refunded me the £10 extra and thought I should be grateful or something.
    Would you like to pay £42 for nothinG? NO. Who would? Well I DID! But then the real joke arrived a few hours ago. I receive my next bill. £74. They are now toying with me. I have become a complete joke to them or something. It is absolutely pathetic. An extra £34. Why? I have no idea?????? I wish I knew why they were torturing me like this. Upon inspection of the bill it looks as though they have charged me for two packages in one month. the original broadband package AND the upgraded infinity package. (now the reason i started off with a lesser package was because it took a while for my brand new address to be recognised as available for infinity).
    Anyway also on the bill they have added the £10 that I was supposedly REFUNDED last bill. NOPE. not refunded at all. instead they have carried it forward. here is the pasted quote:
    "You haven't fully paid your previous bill
    Your previous bill
    £51.36
    Your payment
    6 Feb 14
    We take this amount off what you owe"
    Oh my God. I am.. just... what ... the??? I don't even know why they have done this to me.

    I am being charged for 2 and a half packages or something.
    My package should be £42. I am having a nightmare with this company. They don't care about me, they don't care at all. First charge me money for nothing, no apologies either, just backchat on the phone. And now they charge me £31 extra again for nothing. I am going to be BROKE when my next bill comes as thats probably going to be even bigger. They probably will double it or something just to be even more spiteful.
    Yours sincerely. Very sad customer.

  • I am a  recent Apple convert and feel like I have been ripped off

    I purchased a 13inch MacBook since I was getting a little bit tired of having to constantly reboot my PC. Bought a 13 inch MacBook in Nov 2008. Since this was my first Mac and did not have any other accessories/sofware etc from the pc world, I invested in buying all the accessories - duplicate power cords, apple care, more memory etc... all original ones from Apple (read expensive). I did not mind it since I was thinking that I will be using the MacBook for a long time. I recently found that my battery was not holding the charge and so I scheduled an appointment at the Genius bar at a local Apple store. I was told by my die hard Apple fans that enter all the details in and since you have Apple care, they will have a new battery waiting for you. I arrive at the designated time and (the person who was helping me had not even bothered to find out why I was there for - ok, granted he must have been busy). He sticks a usb drive and runs some program which tells him that the battery needs to be replaced. He then continues to tell me that the battery needs to be replaced and that I have an option to buy it at the store. I obviously asked him why I needed to buy when Applecare should have covered it. He rattled off some technical balther and finally it amounted to that the program he was running said that my battery had failed and Apple considers anything over 300 recharge cycles as having 'failed'. How in the world a common user like myself supposed to know this? When I challenged him to show where in Applecare this was stated...he pretended to look on the web and turned to a colleague of his for support and all they ended up doing was point me to the description for battery coverage for batteries under Applecare, which is quite vague. Here is my question - I have taken good care of my Macbook. I have seldom used it solely running on battery. I have always had the Macbook plugged in. Is'nt this unusual for my battery to fail this early and not being covered by Applecare?
    I would have gladly purchased, had I known in advance what constituted failure- ie over 300 cycles etc..(though I would have questioned that this could be attributed to some manufacturing defect for it to fail so early). Why does not Apple state it as such as a part of the warranty description? This in my mind is a rip off.
    I was planning a trip and did not want to be left without a battery so I was forced to buy one at $129. The gentlemen at the genius bar spoke to his manager and cut a deal for half the price. The whole incident has left a very sour taste for Apple's products and service - not sure if there are other similar surprises lurking in fine print in Applecare land.

    In the future, ask about that stuff here first. Mac accessories (such as memory) are often different, but they shouldn't be any more money than the PC versions.
    I was told by my die hard Apple fans that enter all the details in and since you have Apple care, they will have a new battery waiting for you.
    It is not that automatic, but not far from it either.

    It sounds like you just had a loser. Complain about them and go to a different store. If you don't have another store handy, talk to the manager.

    A spare battery is a good thing to have.

    Just avoid that store in the future. Most places are much better than that.
    The real question here, the one that the "genius" didn't ask, is why you have a cycle count > 300. I have a 2006 Macbook, a 2007 Macbook, and one spare battery I bought sometime in 2006. The two batteries I have installed have cycle counts of 245 and 222, respectively. How can your 2008 Macbook have cycle count greater than 300? You should keep an eye on that.

  • I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store.

    I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was.  I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.

    I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software.
    The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems  with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.
    when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
    If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here:   ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist    That will take you right to that file.
    (.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.
    It's fine to "unload"... we understand that you expect your iMac to be stable but there are times when things go awry. That's why we have these forums so that you can you get help.

  • I am so ripped off by BT

    I am not just moaning because I have nothing better to do with my time. I feel like I've been robbed by an organisation that hide behind their size and one-off appologies for the **bleep** i have experienced with them.
    the only reason why i'm with BT is because I'm in a bt area and i knew if i go with Sky or virgin i'd still be using bt's network. I just never realised i would end up with what is by far the worst "service provider" on the planet or at least out of anyone ive ever used.
    Before i go on about the **bleep** bb speeds i'm experiencing let me just point out that it took me over three weeks from placing my order to actually getting my bb connected. reason - they lost my order or 'wholesale' never dealt with my order. and each time it would be a week more before the order would be dealt with again...only to learn they lost it again. not to worry though...when you phone the call centre, where the automated system tells you you are not a customer after entering the land line number bt gave you, you end up with a sub standard service tech apologising for what ever was wrong...ive had dozens of apologies from BT thus far...and no real improvement.
    trust me i could go on...there is sooo much more i had to put up with before i even got to being connected and dealing with the slow broadband speed i have now.
    anyway, I'm totally miffed with the fact that I am paying for the top tier braodband package in an area where i used to get atleast 1.5 meg broadband...which was via virgin but not cable...i.e. via BT.  no lies the previous property was only two streets up..literally two streets up from there and the house i bought gets no better than 500k.
    I was told by the BT salesman (which was a con i'm sure) that BT would be rolling out its new fibre optic cables in my areain the new year ..this clinched the deal for me because I didnt at the time want to sign up via Sky or virgin and be tied into a contract with them if it was only going to be a few months before BT upgraded their network in my area...well midway through Feb now and it seems my connection is no better and seems to be getting worse.
    I'd hate to phone them again because a cant bear having another 'cant-give-a-**bleep**-cause-you-cant-touch-me JOBSWORTH' apologise for this rubbish that is my broadband only to go through the same tests with no positive outcome.
    So all I ask only this...can anyone tell me how/where to see if BT are actually going to upgrade to fibre optic in my area and when? if not, i'm reporting this saga to the regulator as a miss sell and getting as far away from BT as I can. atleast virgin gave some (not great) customer service and i'd rather deal with them instead of these rip- off merchants
    All i expected when signing up was to have reasonable bb at a high price as i knew Virgin cable is far better but unfortunately not available where i live.
    Saldy this seems like too much to ask

  • Where can I send a complain to apple support? I am being ripped off by a tech support location in Mexico.

    I purchased a Mac Book Air computer 2 months ago in a BEST BUY store in Guadalajara, Mexico.
    I was working on my computer when it went off and the battery indicator stoped being on the top bar.
    I took the computer to the store, and the people from the geek squad took a look at it, and told me that the problem was the battery, but that I should not worry because just 2 months had passed since I purchased the machine, so I should have the warranty from Apple, and I had also purchased the extended warranty from Best Buy, so I was covered.
    The took my computer and gave me a receipt.
    2 weeks or so after this I get a phone call from the repair shop to where they sent my machine. This are their infromation:
    Making Touch Services, S.A. de C.V., Servicepro ( Suc. Guadalajara)
Niños Heroes 2828 Planta Alta · Jardines del Bosque · Guadalajara, Jalisco · C.P. 44520 Tels. (33) 1204 5114 y 1201 7906 · www.mtsmx.com · [email protected]
    And they tell me that the computer had been "inmersed in liquid" and therefor my battery, "the flex" and some board had to be replaced, and since the computer had been "inmersed in liquid" (those were the exact words used) the warranty was void, as well as my extended warranty, so if I wanted my brand new computer working again, I have to pay them $4,216 mexican pesos.
    The whole situation is ridiculous because the computer is new, I paid for an extra warranty to protect my equipment, and of course I did not "inmersed" my computer in any liquid. However the use of those words is very important to the case, because that "improper use of the equipment" allows them to claim a void warranty and charge me for a reppair of a new equipment!
    I asked them for proof of what they were claiming, and they sent a picture of a "flex" on top of a table that had "watery salt stains caused by summersion"
    When I Asked the to take a picture of my computer and send it to me, of coursed they did and of course there is no other component that shows any of the damage that appears in the flex.
    I am outraged at the whole situation, and I am sure that this would have never happened in the USA. I have been working with apple computers for over 10 years, I currently own 6 apple computers, and this is the first time I am beeing ripped off like this.
    How can I get a hold with someone at apple to review my case?

  • Feeling Ripped Off - Logic Express 9 Upgrade Issue

    Hi, I have been using Logic Express 8 for about a year. I just bought the upgrade for Logic Express 9. I started installing it, entered the serial number and then I was prompted to enter the serial number for my Logic Express 8.
    I have since misplaced my LE 8 booklet with the serial number on the back (a bunch of stuff didn't make it to my new apartment in a move). I didn't think this would be a big deal. I thought I would be able to find the serial number of my current version of LE 8 by clicking on the "About Logic Express" tab when I have the program running. However, when you click this all you get is who it is registered to (me) and the version number (8.02).
    I called technical support and asked them where I can find the serial number and they said sure, "click on About Logic Express when you have the program open and it will be right there (he also called it the splash page)." It wasn't and isn't. The tech support person said "ah yes, only the previous versions of Logic Express show you the serial number of the version you currently are running." I asked if there was anywhere else that I could find this number and he said "no."
    Solutions? He suggested I find my receipt and fax it in and get a new serial number. Impossible, I don't have the receipt. Call the store and see if they can dig it up. Let's get real. It was purchased with Xmas money in cash I got from my parents.
    Basically, I'm screwed. I have an opened LE 9 upgrade that I can't return. I have a version of LE 8 that I legally purchased and for some dumb reason there isn't a file or page or something in the program that notes my serial number.
    Not fair. I guess I have to tattoo all serial numbers for stuff I purchase from Apple to my arms on the chance that I lose a booklet. Why Apple doesn't include a file or store the serial number of the LE version you are running somewhere on the system is beyond me.
    So, I feel ripped off. Apple doesn't care. I thought there would be some way we could work this out (like printing the screenshot of the page that says I am the registered owner) but they would rather try to get another $100 out of a loyal Apple customer and force me to buy LE 9 straight up. I've probably spent about $7,000 on Apple stuff in the past 6 years. I am the definition of a loyal customer.
    Not fair.

    You didn't buy Logic Express, you merely paid for the right to use it. When you install it, you are presented with the license agreement to which you must agree.
    At the top of the agreement it reads "IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE, YOU MAY RETURN THE APPLE SOFTWARE TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU OBTAINED IT FOR A REFUND...."
    So, try taking it back to the store and telling them you declined the license agreement and want a refund.
    You can find a copy of the Logic Express license agreement here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf

  • VERIZON RIP OFF PROJECT!!! BEWARE

    I purchased a smart phone in November of last year. My bill remained constant for two months, then at the beginning of the year it doubled...and has been constantly over $230.00 per billing cycle this year....
    I was puzzled as to why, my phone habits hadn't changed...the only thing I had done was buy the "smart" phone. I began to look a little further...and did not have to go far...
    Have you noticed that the "smart" phone will let you switch between calls? Where is the disconnect button for the call that you briefly switch to? There is none!! So when you switch to the incoming call however brief, the minutes keep rolling until you hang up both calls completely!!!
    They have made a phone that is "smart" for their pockets, while cleaning yours out unbeknownst to you.
    I called Verizon and asked for a complete audit of my account...so I could prove what they were doing, while bringing it to their attention. I was told "how do we know when you disconnected the call?"....WOW That response lead me to believe that they know what is going on...and the fact that the audit was not conducted.
    If you are having the same issues....respond to this blog and maybe we can get them to listen and fix this problem...or we can get the FCC involved, and start some class action movement!!!

    tOTAL ALL TOGETHER , VERIZON OWES ME $300.00. This all started December 2010 when i purchased a piece of equipment from the Verizon store that was suppose to work with the Xbox so i could get it set up so my son could play the Xbox on line. Well, i purchased it for $99.00. in the mean time they told me it would have to have its own phone line, but that if the product did not work on the xbox to bring it back withing 30 days and i could get my refund for the product plus the early termination fee which was $75.00. well, within 2 days i brought it back because it did not work like they said it would, All i got credit for was the charge i paid for the equipment. I still have not yet got my $75.00 early termination fee which i paid in December. Then I called them and they said that it would come off the next month bill. well guess what, it didn't. Then the next month I took Januarys bill into the store, they loked at it and said that it had never been billed to me in the first place and that was why it didnt come off. REALLY? DO YOU THINK i bought that story, i had it all in writing where it was charged to me. More fussing and nothing happened. Then February bill it was charged on there again. I decided i would pay my bill but i deducted the 150.00 that they owed me before i paid it. Well, guess waht, they shut my phone off for not paying that 150.00. so in order for me to get my phones turned back on, i had to pay the 150.00 that i deducted plus and extra $15.00 a line reconnect fee. Well, i called them and told them i was filing a complaint with the company and asked them to send me a form. They told me i had to do it online. Ok, i was willing to do that, but when you bring the form up that they told me to fill out, you cant fill it out on line. So i printed it out and was going to mail it but guess what no address to mail it to them anywhere on the form so i called AGAIN, they didn't know where to mail a complaint form too. REALLY ? but after 20 minutes of being on the phone with them, they finally came up with an addresss, which i think was bogus cause i still have not heard a word from them. They messed me over good this time, but it WILL NOT happen again. But just to let all you people know, DO NOT buy anything from VERIZON again ! they will lie and lie and lie. And the sad thing is, I took Dec 2010- thru March 2011 bills into a verizon store and we went over the bills with a fine tooh comb and they agreeded with me, they have never given me the ct=redit and also they have charged me 2 times for it. But customer service says that is not how the bill reads. I guess they have a different bill them the one that i get every month.... They are a RIP OFF !!!!!!!  I hate that they bought out ALLTEL because i had ALLTEL for 12 years and never had a problem one with them plus they were alot cheaper too !
    Not sure what you are talking about, but an ETF is a one time charge. If you got charged $75 for each of the last 2 months, it seems as if you still have a line with service active. It sounds as if you returned the device, got credit for it and had to pay a $75 restocking fee. Not sure what the $75 charge is/was for the 2nd month.

  • Exchange rate rip off

    I recently purchased an App for Aus$8.99 through iTunes then I saw on the web site that the real price was US$6.99. Today's exchange rate is Aus$1 = US&1.02. I complained to the App owner and they replied that the price charged by the App Store is decided by Apple.
    Since December 2009 the exchange rate between the Australian and US dollars has been roughly 1:1 Apple is making a windfall profit of around 20% on Australian App sales. If this is repeated across all App Store sales it means that Australian app purchasers have been ripped off by hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past six months.
    What happens to these windfall profits? And what comeback do we have other than a costly class action?
    Maybe someone from iTunes is monitoring this forum.

    Others have commented here on similar pricing discrepancies between Australia and US. My question is, why are you surprised? Prices have always been different for identical things in different areas of the world. There's no reason why the prices should be the same. Often there are tax and import regulations that make prices different on top of differential pricing based on what the market will bear. For example, [http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12432275]
    What happens to these windfall profits?
    Maybe somebody has a nice yacht? So somebody slaps on a $8.99 price. They could probably ask whatever they want (and would) except at some point people would just say it was too expensive. Hey, welcome to capitalism.
    And what comeback do we have other than a costly class action?
    Don't buy the app. I don't see that any legal action would have any basis. So, I buy a can of Fosters in France, and I buy a can in England. They have a different price. Unless one expects purely idealistic pricing by nice companies who only charge the difference in getting the can from Australia to France and England there will always be a difference. For that matter, there's a price difference in the two liquor stores near me.
    Maybe someone from iTunes is monitoring this forum.
    No. Except in very rare cases the only response you'll get here is from other Mac users like you. To provide feedback to Apple use the contacts link at the bottom of the page, but I think it extremely unlikely they will write back.

  • Fed up with N97 flagship rip-off

    I bought this phone just days after it came out back in june here in Holland.. Thus I paid the full price, meaning I would be one of the users which would recieve the latest rifraf to FW the first, with first I mean one of the first of course. I should have smelled sh^t when my phone came like  5-6 days after my order..
    To my surprise I came in contact with N97 users which bought it from a telecom-company which are able to update long before I can.. So my unbranded phone still awaits update while other douches which bought it weeks after me PAYING FAR LESS than me are already up-to-date?? WHAT IS UP WITH THAT??
    Contacting Nokia Care and recieved this dumb useless message: FW is still tested and will be available when stable? What the hell?? Why release it in the first place??
    Another big surprise, hundreds of euro's for a glitchy phone with headset I barely use, whilst other phone-companies offer some (cheap) fulfilling products such as a leather case etc.
    I think this is my OWN fault, I was the one who bought the product, I was the one who trusted Nokia and went through with the phone, I envy family-members who got rid of the piece whilst I still have it in my hand, deffective
    I feel really stupid, for buying this product, Safe to say my first phone was Nokia and always trusted Nokia unfortunately a 600 euro rip-off punished this trust
    NOKIA BACK TO RUBBER BOOTS!!!!!!
    I think I am allowed to write off my frustration in a civilized way as I donated 600 euro's to nokia,

    As for the N97 updates, it's unfortunate that the latest version is not yet available for all markets. To my understanding, new versions are released daily for new countries and the Nokia Software Update team is very aware that many of you are waiting for the version for your product codes.
    @ Sokrates: I can only guess that there may be something specific in the local N97 version that has made it to be released slower than others. But I am sure that the local Nokia Benelux sales office is also very aware of the situation and are working with the software team to get the local versions available as soon as possible. I would think that this is a top priority for them. Unfortunately there are no public release dates for the new versions, but I am sure it's coming and hopefully soon. I'm sorry that I can't help you more with this.

  • 4G Wireless....what a rip off!!!

    What a rip off!!!  I was mislead by Verizon that I would have unlimited internet access for $50 a month.  What I wasnt told,  was that if you use more than 5GB then you are automatically charged another $50 to raise the storage to 10GB. What happened to unlimited useage??? I thought this would save me money and I was told that it would save me money from my previous DSL. Whereas, it has cost me more money! I will be paying the $175 fee to disconnect from this service.

    This is the plans that are offered by the company....  So if you are getting 10GB for 50.00 you appear to be getting a discount, are you sure you did not misunderstand the information you received? 
    When you have unlimited the plan would be unlimited and wouldn't change on your use, if you was told if you go over 5GB it would change to unlimited that isn't how the plan works so maybe it was just a misunderstanding..
