Musical Providers
A couple of weeks ago, Rent Guy, in his ‘Infinite Wisdom’, decided to get more download capacity from his Internet Provider, and so, instead of paying for a possible upgrade, he saw what appeared to be a better deal with another company, so he changed from Optus to Telstra….so far, well and good….more-or-less….
So….
He doesn’t tell me anything about it at the time, but gets a package from them on the 16th, and waits until the following Wednesday, the 21st, to tell me what was happening
That morning, I was still able to use the Optus Account as normal, but, that afternoon, when he told me what he was doing, he turned off the Optus one in favour of the Telstra one
He gives me the Password for it, and presumably, everything’s okay, right?
Nope….it won’t connect
So….that Friday, the 23rd, he gets another package from them, and when I ask him when it’s going to be connected, he says that he needs to Register it first
This continues for a day or so and then he tells me that someone is coming out from Telstra on the Monday, the 26th, to look at it….nobody came and Other Guy called them that night while going through the Installation Procedure with them….which didn’t work
So, he tries to go back to Optus the next day, but claims that they want too much money
In the meantime, I’ve had to make use of The Library as best I can, and he’s said to me that I can use his Tablet for access if I need to
Hmmmm….
Disregarding, for the moment, the fact that I don’t like using someone else’s device if I can help it (especially as I don’t want them to see by browsing history), one wonders what Provider his Tablet is using, if it’s not the same as the house-hold one….
Anyway….
This past Friday, the 30th, he *FINALLY* manages to get one of those portable things from Vodaphone, and I was finally, after a week and a half, able to get access once again
Now all he needs to do is to remember to leave it turned on!! :-/
