  • No DSL... and no WoW Raiding ... make Vx go something, something....

    You figure that if you've been away for a week that things will be exactly as you left them when you get back.

    Not the case, in my case...

    No, everything was where it was supposed to be... except my DSL
    connection that is. Apparently it had been offline for awhile and I
    know it was working when I left last Friday... So I call up my DSL
    connection company, at 8:30 in the morning... get a person who's accent
    I can't understand... I jump through all the hoops, etc.... Only to be
    put on hold to be transfered to the next level of tech support....

    So 15 minutes later, on hold... I get the next level of support...
    During this whole time I'm on the phone with these people, I can hear a
    clicking and a hissing in my phone... Needless to say I pointed that
    out to them (stupid mistake)...

    Tech #2: Well, it will take 2 to 7 days to get a head office person from Central office to call and check your phone....
    Vx: So I won't get charged for this month then right?
    Tech #2: If we cant get your internet working you won't get charged for the week that it was down...
    Vx: So I'm without the internet at all for a week
    Tech #2: maybe longer
    Vx: Great...
    Tech #2: If there is anything else let me know and thank you for choosing... *click*

    So ya, it sucks that I don't have the net at home now... which is and isn't a bad thing I guess.... More sleep, etc etc...

    Just wanted to keep you all up to date... At least I have the net at work...

    * DSL Update *

    Swapped DSL Modems with my parents, tested it out, it works fine. So mine is kaputz....
    Called up DSL company, twice, they hung up on me the first time... They
    are sending one out in 3 -5 business days... It's better than nothing
    methinks...
