Original Commentary

The implication, of course, is that Miz Taylor had something to do with the new usage rules. I mean, reloading two dozen auction pages every five seconds can't use up that much bandwidth, can it? - Terrence

Modern Commentary
So, I'm not sure we ever explained what happened. Was it just a coincidence that this happened or did Ms Taylor have a clever plan? Did Kimberly really use up all the bandwidth by refreshing the auction page all day?
Bandwidth was scarcer and more expensive back in the day. There was no streaming video and high-quality images were slow and rare. And Lola blamed Kimberly because they do not pay her enough to talk to the Lounge Guys about whatever they're doing online.
I remember that we had a clever plan that explained how Ms Taylor did this. That never made it into the comic and neither of us remember. She's not the kind of titan of industry who can just make things like that happen. She runs a small-to-medium business. She can't boss around the phone company.

I'm going to say that if Ms Taylor did this, she reached out to one of her gentleman callers who worked at their ISP; he really isn't allowed to do this but did it anyhow. If you have a better idea, let me know.- Terrence
