First of all, hello and my name is Andy.
Now there has been this problem going on for several years now and I think it's about time to talk about it. In my family, we use Videotron and Basic Internet. In other words, maximum of 3OGB of download and upload or whatever like that.
For some reason, it's obvious, we've been passing that limit every single month, every time for the past 6 years.
I keep telling my parents we should just upgrade, but my mom refuses to pay the extra. By doing so, here comes the extra 5O$ or so on every single bill.
For em, I started getting a part-time job (15-25 hours an hour) about 3 weeks ago. Working minimum salary, 9.5O$/hr. Now, they're thinking: "Hey, let's make Andy pay the bills." Excuse me, but I just got a job, starting to get paid, I'm 17 and you want me to pay the bills? And best of all, I also have a sister that YouTube's and plays games a lot online. Since I have a job and my only way of getting to work or school is via Public Transport, they also force me to pay that with my money. In find this insane already since how can I save up for the future with so many debts with my first ever job.
The payment: This is it, we pay the surplus at 5O/5O each, my sister and I. My sister is 9, she doesn't have any source of income unless it's her birthday or a major holiday. My mom keeps saying if we don't pay, she'll cut the Internet.
I stopped going on YouTube and other major games just to stop this madness. However, the surplus will always last because I'm really in touch with my friends via MSN and Skype, facebook and constantly updated on music because that's how I live.
Now, about that bill. I'm going to debate face to face with them, in the kitchen, as if it was a mini-courtroom. Now, I need to find good points to strengthen my point. Any advice?
I'll be checking this regularly because I'm summarizing my points on a sheet and I'm not losing this debate.
