Long story short:
We went over our internet data limit of 250 GB already for this month. ISP will charge my dad $10 per 50GB we are over our limit. Last month it was 368GB total usage. So I'm hoping just $20 and not $30. We can upgrade our service for $20 more per month to 100 MBPS and 450GB limit.- I didn't tell my dad this yet. I'm a full time college student and I live at home with my parents, and they are nice enough to give me $100 a week spending money. So how do I go about asking my dad to upgrade the internet plan? Nicely ask if he can just take the $20 a month out of what he gives me? I think Netflix and Youtube are the main source of data overages. My girlfriend and I like to watch a lot of Netflix shows. |

Move out of your parents basement. Get a job and start contributions to the bill. Stop watching so much porn. |

People really pay for Internet with data limits? I had no idea this existed.
|

So if he told you to stay off the interwebs, why are you online?

Get a part time job.
Also, why are you posting here if your dad told you not to use the internet? |

Study more, watch less Netflix, get a job, and let your old man keep his $1.2k per year.
Maths, reading, writing, AND complaining all in the same thread? ARFCOM-ing is hard.. |

this is a web forum based on interest in and use of a semi-automatic rifle that is used in war.
dude posts about his allowance and is upset because daddy is grounding him and taking away his computer. lol |

You need to get off the internet a get outside and do something.
Thats what I tell my son anyway, he seems to be addicted to Counterstrike tournaments. |

Move in to the basement with Wowpro, sniff womens used underwears together.

Offer to contribute to the bills? I mean, damn.
I paid my parents rent when I lived with them. And the internet/phone. |

He's supporting you, so until you start throwing your own money (not your allowance) into the equation, try doing as you're asked.

This is so bizarre. I moved out at 17 and started working as a laborer on a welding site. By 19 was tig certified, at 21 left for the navy. Go do more with yourself and spend less time online.

If you are not just trolling why dont you grow the fuck up and move the fuck out and pay for your own shit. If my kid lived at home and told him to stop fucking around on web cause he was costing me money and he "said fuck it they already charged you so im going to use it any way" i would nuke every fucking electronic device he owned every time he brought it inside the house until he moved the fuck out. Play by my rules or get the fuck out. |

Wait.
Is that you Timmy? !! I thought I told you to stay off the inernets and get a job? Get a fucking job! And a haircut! Damn kids...ruining Murica... |

"Hey, Dad. Can you upgrade the internet? I'll pay the bill." Done. -p. |
|
There's a word for what you're feeling. Entitled. That you don't feel guilt for blowing through your data limit and costing your father more money is telling. You should be apologizing, not scheming on how to get more.
