610. Ruth called Earthblink. The representative said, "One month of Internet is only $24.95. There's no contract. We send you a modem. Just plug it in. You don't even need a router. You get one gigabyte of data transfer per month." She said, "Is that enough to watch TV online?" The rep said, "Sure. Watching TV will be no problem."

I want to watch TV at least two hours every night, not two hours every month!" The rep said, "No problem! You can buy extra gigabytes for only $9.95 each." 3.8
