Turns out microwave backhaul for cellular data is expensive. I expect to pay more. I don't really have a problem with that. It's not a cost issue within reason.

Re: AOC - General (non-tech) tips
For my own clarification... the only thing different is the (much better) hotbar layout and the much better status bars for you and your target?
IMHO, the most glaring UI fuckups are the minimap, and the inability to have more than one set of quest objectives being actively tracked.
