    Not easily and you would need to make multiple subscriptions and then cancel them and then I would need to fix your account for it but there is no real need to do it anyway, it rebills at the same price each year.

    Not sure, but it appears you are getting 100 MBs (err 130 MBs with both) with them so a far cry from 2.5 gigs anyways. Does Sab indicate any potential slow downs (wrench symbol, one of the little round arrows, let it self test). Is the system resource constrained in some way that makes extra...
