How to get around internet time limits.?
Each month as a four person family we have a download limit of 40GB of internet per month. That might sound a lot but me and my brother are heavy internet users, so the download limit runs out before the end of the month. To stop in download limit all being used my dad found out unfortunately that you can set internet time limits. He did this and set them from 2pm till 10pm. This meant that I couldn't use the internet when i wanted to which makes me feel restricted(which i hate) and thought off as a child.

I started to look for ways to get around this on the internet(when I was on it). I found out on a website that all you need to do is to change your mac address and it had a tutorial on how to do that. It worked! No more time limits, I was happy once more. One day my dad found out and told me that if I change my mac address again that he will take my laptop off me permanently. As a punishment he changed the time limit so I couldn't go on the internet at all. This annoyed and me and my mum, so my mum said to him I need it to do my homework on. My dad agreed and changed the time limit to 4 pm till 9pm. This was ok with my mum but it still annoys me greatly. It annoys me because on a school day I get home at half four so half an hour gone already. We have dinner for about an hour so that's another hour gone. Most nights I do home work for an hour or longer, so that an hour gone. I would have a shower so that's half an hour as well. All together that leaves me with only two hours on the internet and that's not including any other things I might do.

What am I meant to do with the internet in two hours. I am a teenager who has a social life. I go on Facebook, Twitter etc. I do online gaming and stream tv shows. Two hours is not enough to do all that. I hope some of you may agree with me on that.

Two hours isn't enough, so basically what I'm asking is there any other way to get around the time limits that's not involved in changing the mac address. If there isn't then has anyone got any suggestions how I might convince my dad that two hours is not enough and that the time limits are really annoying me.

I am not asking for people to say that what I'm doing is wrong as i did try to reason with him before and it didn't work.
