RTE - Stop Wasting My Bandwidth

August 21st, 2006

As a stressed-out narrowbander I have always used Aertel on a daily basis due to the lack of images and bloat. Now they hog your bandwidth and embarrass you at work with these stupid loud video ads of old men singing that take up half the screen. Entirely defeats the purpose of using Aertel online.
