I was just joshin' since the grey patches covers quite a few neighborhoods, some of which are very different from garbon's actual neighborhood. :sleep:

Okay, counselor, should have thrown an "a" in there. :P

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Except that your stats are useless because they're top internet speed rather than average.  I am annoyed with your attempt to distort.  Find me different numbers.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I get like 3.5.  :sleep:

About 6.5 for me. Although if I wanted to I could shell out for a dearer service and possibly get into the late teens, early twenties.

And since I've got that pretty consistently, my average isn't actually that much lower.

Average is the new top.

I just went from 10.0 to 22.0, didn't have to pay any more since i was in such an antiquated contract that was unlimited use to now have a monthly 200gb limit.

I want to move away from 6mb/no data cap to something in the ~20mb but all those tiers have data caps or the unlimited ones are very expensive.
