The answer to your query is very simple, we all pay for data quantity.
I'm sure you are familiar with your own download limit?
If you access a website by Excel or other programmes you are using the data from that website. It all counts to their data limit.
This was the primary reason TabCorp changed their webpage.
The fact that the same result could have been achieved by simpler means never occurred to them, TAB never does anything simple if there is away to complicate it. |
