Getting him to cancel will probably be like prying loose an immovable object. He's been nagging for faster internet service for years, despite all the indications that we can't get it here unless we pay huge fees. Now that he has had a taste of it, I probably can't do much.
The software and LAN issues can be resolved, I'm sure. I've already found some information that points the way (no thanks to Verizon's so-called documentation, which is the usual tripe for the compleat idiott.) What really worries me is the 5GB data cap, after which they charge 5 cents a MB for additional use. I just don't know how well he can discipline himself to keep his usage in line. The internet doesn't make it easy to estimate what you are doing or how much bandwidth you are using.
