Rent Guy
Rent Guy is trying yet again to get a better Internet Service….
Currently, he’s looking at ADSL
He’s been told that he needs a special Modem for it, which he thinks he can just plug in to a normal Phone Socket - i.e. - Telstra Wall Socket
I’ve asked him a few times if he actually has a Land Line, and he believes he does, but, he’s actually been talking about his Mobile, which he uses as a Home Phone….the Proof of that came thins morning when, for some reason known only to himself, he tried to plug his Mobile into the Telstra Socket :-/
I’ve told him that he needs to get a converter plug/cable, in order to plug the ADSL Modem into the Telstra Socket
He just said, “That one doesn’t work anyway”, and also claimed to have one in his room which does work
If it’s the same type of Socket, he won’t have been able to get to it because of where it is, so chances are, he won’t have been able to check it yet to see if it’s working anyway :-/
Nevertheless, he’s called an ADLS Company, and they’ve sent him out a letter, but no Modem as yet (I can tell that by the lack of package from them as yet)
In other news….
He’s been having issues with a water leak recently, and he’s called the Agent, who’s called a Plumber out to look at it a couple of days ago, who supposedly couldn’t find the problem
They sent another guy out today (what the difference is between this guy and the Plumber, I have no idea), who managed to locate the problem, and he’s called the Agent who will be sending a Plumber out again
Rent Guy seems to believe that that’s not his problem, in that, he won’t be liable for the costs in that regard, well, that remains to be seen, I guess, but I’m thinking he will be
This guy even made the suggestion to turn the water off so that he wouldn’t be paying for the leaking water, to which of course Rent Guy replied that it wasn’t his problem :-/
Again, we’ll just have to see, won’t we?
