O.K., my pretties, your party is over!1 I'm back with a new modem after 3 days
Well, I did do some checking up on you by going for the wifi to the public library one day and then to a bookseller's another. The bookseller now has all the living room furniture out of there to cut down on us scofflaws.
So in being a customer to my local internet provider I was trying to help them instead of the gigantic greedy corporations, and after more than ten years ran into the brick wall that the local has its limited resources and observes holidays while the gigantics have 24/7 tech support. So of course the breakdown had to happen on a 3 days' holiday weekend.
So the tech spent an hour and a half diddling around before reaching the conclusion that the same modem I've had over ten years had given out, which I had thought was the case from before he ever showed his sloth like self. I had spent two hours with tech support for the gigantic corporation of the router two days ago, and they had been exhaustive in checking out their end of things and finally not charging me because the router was fine and they had been unable to resolve things and telling me they believed the modem was the problem. So the local dude informed as an afterthought, after he installed the new modem, that I would be charged $75 for the new modem.
Also with the gigantic corporations' techies, one can be anonymously obnoxious to them on the phone, whereas with the locals you almost get to know them over the years, unfortunately, and bite the rudeness tongue for being known. So I was passive while he was "working" and waited until he was through and at the door to unleash my controlled aggression by saying I was seriously inconvenienced for three days and might be making a decision to go to the gigantic corporations, since I think they charge half the price of the local. He said that he himself is a customer of the gigantics and pays twice what I pay and I'm now getting five "MEGS" while he only gets three "MEGS".
So, my pretty MEGS, I'm cracking the whip here now!!!1
= new reply since forum marked as read
Cuz I know that when librarians are looking over your shoulder it can be hard to "be yourself".
I don't get why the techie goes to the gigantic instead of fixing it himself??? That doesn't inspire confidence!
