I work every second saturday, no sundays though, but that is because they don't want to pay us time and a half. I hear we are going to be hiring in the new year for anyone thats interested.

you're paying up to 15 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload but you're getting more than that for the downloads due to powerbost for small period of time

you're not being screwed over
