Definition: Postpond

I received an e-mail today from one of my code workers misspelling “Postponed” as “Postpond”. I had a little chuckle to myself that I thought I would share with all of you.

A new service from BigPond for those people in areas with sub-broadband services where they can transfer 50Mb/s. Blazing speeds! Unfortunately all the data arrives at once at the destination usually after about two or three days, however – you shape the performance of the traffic using a QoS technique called Express Envelopes. As usual international traffic incurs a higher cost.

Very cool! You forgot one thing, the government claims the service is the best you will find in the developed world.

It was me that sent the message. I glad that I can bring you some cheer

And all this for an amazingly low price of $99.95*!
* 50MB usage limit applies. Each MB over the 50MB usage limit is $17.95.

My kids have been calling it “Australia Post Broadband” for years, but “PostPond” – I like it!
Paul: Alternatively, there is Plan B where each MB over the 50MB usage limit takes an extra day.
