Broadband & ISPs

It's unbelievable, isn't it?! I'm shocked and amazed at the same time that the PO have been so utterly childish about the whole thing, behaving like a kid who's been found out and then sulks afterwards. It's a pity Esther Rantzen's 'That's Life' still isn't going - they would have loved this story. What also is astounding is that in this world of multi-communication formats, this story could spread like wildfire, doing the PO no favours at all. Did they not even consider that? Hope this comes back at them and bites them on the ass - big time.

Gotta go with Mark64 on this, I've been with BT Broadband for three years now, apart from one glitch where a problem caused by some idiot siting a waterproof junction box upside down on the pole. This resulted in a break in connection during VERY wet weather which affected five lines connected to the box. After complaining once I was informed that they were aware of the problem and an engineer would be calling tomorrow. True to their word it was fixed the very next day by simply installing a new junction box on the pole, correct way up. Since then everything has been fault free.
I know BT is probably one of the more expensive suppliers compared to Talktalk etc but after reading some of the horror stories others have suffered, I'll stick with them.

I Hate My Frickin ISP

Is the title of a classic Todd Rundgren song relating to this topic:
The reason that I signed up is the reason that I hate it
I know she's made her mind up I just don't know how she's made it

And my dial-up screen has locked me
Into a touch tone tune monotony
Because some snot-nosed pube has blocked me out
And I wait And I wait

And I hate my frickin ISP he ain't got go bandwidth left for me
And I'll never get back never get back the time that I waste
That's what I hate

My job's so hard to swallow But it's got me by the collar
In some Motel 6 squalor Where every local call's a dollar

I got no time left to jack off I got a deadline that won't back off
I'm about to chew my own leg off cause it's so late
And I'm late

And I hate my frickin ISP I get bumped for inactivity
And I'll never get back Never get back the time that I waste
That's what I hate

It rained CD roms that gave me Twenty hours free
I let my service provider Make a junky outta me
And then he cut me off from my online community
And now I hate, I hate it I hate I hate I hate I hate

I hate my frickin ISP
His domain name lookup takes eternity
