Loud cheer from the direction of Warwick

Feb 22, 2007 19:14

My ISP just upgraded my broadband account.

Which has resulted in me being without internet or mail access for three days! Much muttering, and grumbles have been involved, including the bemused support call with the very helpful gentleman who's accent I could barely understand. He told me it would be fixed in 48 hours. 48 hour later it was worse ( Read more... )

And here am I responding from the new laptop (possibly a bit daft since the other computer is right behind me) just to prove I can!!

If you want to get into a technology war, I'll go boot up the tablet and scribble you a reply! *g*

Although having three computers (and the Blackberry) in my little flat *is* slight overkill ... It'll be even worse when you bring the new toy round!

And this is the other computer ...

Hooray for upgraded broadband! But why can these things never run smoothly, and necessitate chasing people for things they should have given you in the first place? Or are we just supposed to all be internet connection whizkids now? I hate that stuff! But - all is well now, so that's good. :-)

It's a relief, that's what it is. I pay for better service and end up with none at all for three days! There's a lesson in there somewhere ...

The frustration with this has been that I *do* know how to set up and configure connections - and there was nothing wrong at my end. It was the things they'd changed at the other end that had caused the problem! However, all sorted now, and I'm safely surfing again. :-)
