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.

I dunno, I moved out after highschool and bought a house.  Then I went to college full time while working full time to pay for said college.  I don't know how FSA etiquette works.

We are already over our limit for this month by 11GB... so they already charged my dad $10 for 50GB extra

So I might as well enjoy this 39GB while I can.

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.

What is your dad going to use?  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.

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.
